SVG in Safari

Safari is begining their SVG implementation and they aim for mixed namespace support just like Gecko. I don’t care much for the entire build-a-full-application-in-SVG but rather want a good vector graphics language in browsers. But, now that SVG seems to have become a competitive advantage for the browser makers I truely hope that we at least can get SVG Basic mixed with XHTML support in all modern browsers (except IE of course).

    This is really lovely news. I knew that Firefox was about to get SVG support but I haven’t heard of Safari. With these two browsers supporting it we can only hope that also IE 7 will be able to show some. Otherwise it will not be possible to use it on bigger sites…

    I highly agree that SVG support in all modern browsers would be great. I think we’re going to see new usages for web graphics with declarative/programmatic things like SVG and the new Canvas element. Safari getting into the game (along with Opera and Firefox) will surely push IE eventually into the SVG space (maybe as a flavour of XAML?)..
