I wonder increasingly if our little world won't realign itself from SVG vs MM to SVG + MM vs WMF. Yes, Ronan, I think some realignment is likely. I see some almighty battles as likely/possible: e.g. SVG vs XAML (? vs Flash?) SVGT vs WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere, if I understand the broad aim of that stuff correctly) PDF vs XPS (which I think has changed its name to ???) (?vs SVG?) XHTML vs Ajax vs WBA (Windows Browser Apps) Those may not be the precise battle lines, but it looks as if the whole space (I am not even sure there is an all-encompassing term for it - the "Human Presentation" space, perhaps?) is going to undergo a fairly significant shake up in the next couple of years. There is going to be an interesting play off of several factors including ease of development, improved workflow, cross-platform availability etc etc. SVG would have been in a much stronger position, I think, if Adobe hadn't thrown the brakes on around Q4 2001.
