Cameron, Though i do watch the abstracts coming in, i'm not on the review team. To me personally however sXBL is one of the most interesting things. And i think a lot of people would be interested (at a technical university, i'm expecting some extra interest for specialized 'drawing' programs..). Maybe you can submit a course too. I suggest you submit your abstract(s), with a remark about the likelyhood of you actually showing up.
Watching all the SVG-news from Sun (Batik being Java) go by (latest example: http://svg.org/story/2005/2/21/163451/008 ) I'd expect Sun to next to their nice participation on the contents side of SVG Open als take the opportunity of marketing/promotion and be a sponsor of the event as i mailed Vincent Hardy about. Just maybe (i don't know about Apache funding), Sun and you can help each other for SVG Open.
