Lack of browser support for SVG.
No. Both Opera and Firefox have really good SVG support in
their latest
version (both available for free). Likewise,for IE there is
the good Adobe
plugin, which is installed more or less automatic, and free,
too.
Not sure about Safari. And konqueror, you need fairly late
one for that,but
upgradingKDE is a bit of a pain. OTOH, these two do not
really matter in
the browser statistics atm.
The real reason why SVGs aren't simple allowed as uploads is
that SVG can
contain scrips that are executed client-side, and this poses
a security
risk.(You dont want to let everyone upload scripts that are
executed
automatically on each visitors machine).
And since there is currently no real "cleaner" for SVG to
get rid of the
scripts, the raster-solution was used.
Yes its not optimal and I think SVG should be allowed since
its very cool
and usefull. But something needs to be done about the
scripts first.
Btw, anybody wanting to play around with SVG and mediawiki
can install this
extension:

The page also shows you whether your browser supports SVG.
Best wishes,
