It has another potential role of providing you with a standardized way of deploying your SVG-based application. Suppose you've built an application that uses SVG as the user interface. You want to insure that the JavaScript interactions work across all platforms, and all browsers.

You also get access to a wide variety of libraries that you can use to shorten the development time.
