That is true. It is not just SVG, but any browser extension which has its OBJECT, EMBED, or APPLET tags contained within the hosting HTML page.

They already know, believe me, they already know.... ;-) The new behavior also occurs in users of the regular IE6 who have found the list of download options in Windows Update and chosen to install the similar change for IE6. I expect that, in absence of further legal news, that this browser change will be mainlined into a future IE6 update. Other browsers are also vulnerable to the same legal concerns, although I have not heard of any patent news against other browsermakers... Microsoft has the biggest pockets, and was first to be approached. What to do? The easiest seems to be to use an external .JS file to dynamically write your OBJECT, EMBED or APPLET tags into the page.
