Hi Peter,
A couple of things: 1. You might take a look at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html . It was written at a time that the Adobe plugin for IE (often called ASV) was more relevant (that is, before native SVG support in IE) and the examples were, except as noted, pretty much cross browser compliant for all five browsers. 2. ASV really is approaching obsolescence. While I would agree that lots of individuals do not have access to native support for SVG in IE, the SVG spec has been largely diverging from it for almost ten years now. Nevertheless, the code examples in the above reference should work most everywhere, includeing ASV. As Robert notes, Jonathan Watt's authoring notes should provide most of what you need for getting things to work across browsers.
