A full implementation of SVG tiny would be a good start.

That's too limiting. For IE one has to install a plugin, and for the
rest it just works (as usual). I think this is easy to communicate, if
you have a graphical application that people have to use a real
browser or install a plugin.

Prototype and script.aculo.us should work to some extent with SVG
nodes. At least in FireFox, Safari and Opera. In most cases it makes
sense to have propre fallback implementations anyway.

I know / have heard of at least 3 SVG implementations in Seaside. It
is rather disappointing that nobody takes the time to publish his
solution to SqueakSource.
