Yes, fallback content can be a normal <img /> element with a fallback
bitmap image, and further fallback alt-text.
To make the width dynamic you need to do two things.
1) Your SVG image mustn't declare a fixed width in itself
2) You need to do the sizing with CSS.
My preferred way is to place the object in a container (which you have
to do anyway) and use CSS to make the object size to width: 100%.
Then, no-matter what size your container is, the object should resize
smoothly.
I have a crude example at home which I'll post for you later on.
