Also take a look at

It is rather fun since it never does the same thing twice. Either Opera or
IE/ASV is needed as the animations in FF4 don't yet seem to handle the "d"
attribute in paths.

Subject: [svg-developers] animating path data with SMIL
Hi,
Is it possible to animate path data using SMIL? For example, if I have
a simple arc:
<path d="M0,400 A100,100 0 1,1 800,400"/>
And would like to animate the endpoint, so that it starts at 0,0 and
ends at 800,400 over a duration of 3 seconds, for example. Because "d"
contains path data, and not simple numerical values, it's not clear to
me whether the path data can be animated with SMIL. It seems like, in
order to animate path data with SMIL, you might need an expanded path
data syntax, like that described in Section 3.1 of the paper
"Compressing SVG with EXI" from the SVG Open 2010 conference, as this
gives you elements for each path segment, each of which has simple
numerical attributes that could potentially be animated:
http://svgopen.org/2010/papers/3-Compressing_SVG_with_EXI/index.html
But perhaps I'm missing something, and it is currently possible to
animate path data with SMIL.
If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate it if you could
let me know. Thanks,
Jake
