Ben and I have been talking about tweaking our Ajaxian RSS Reader to be a SVG application. The problem has always been that SVG is plugin based, and just isn’t hugely used.
I think that will change with the announcement that:
But perhaps more interesting than that is the possibility of mixing SVG graphic elements directly into the markup of regular XHTML pages, freeing vector graphics from the small rectangle of a browser plugin and opening up a host of exciting new possibilities for web developers. This is enabled by the integration of SVG directly into the Gecko rendering engine, instead of as a browser plugin.
Now we just need the IE team to put SVG support into IE 7 (come on guys!), and we will be rolling!
The IE team could map SVG to XAML and be done :)

Is your Ajaxian RSS Reader available to others?
