I looked a little further. I thought it interesting that Safari could
also not view the Adobe SVG thingy. Moreover,
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ shows they've dropped support
for their viewer, and the most recent blurb promoting SVG relates to
Illustrator CS2, when CS4 is the current version. I have CS4, but
haven't learned to use it yet.
Is there a future in SVG?
