Can anyone recommend a web browser with good support for displaying SVG?  It's 
hard to create SVG graphics when they cannot be viewed.

Take a look at Batik.

http://xml.apache.org/batik/

It has a Java based SVG viewer. It works quite well, but it does not
support animation.

For creating SVG images, you could try Sodipodi
