Good point. I had forgotten about that, though I don't think they
threw away the SVG stuff.

If I understand correctly they used Morphic's canvas as an abstraction
over a choice of SVG or HTML Canvas. I can't really picture that in my
head, perhaps because I think of Morphic's canvas as a sheet of
pixels.

A Google search turned up a fascinating book the Lively Kernel team
published last year, which has some comments about SVG.
