I think you hit the nail on the head.

My employer targets big companies, who don't like deploying things that 
are unsupported, and who tend to use IE.  I'm sure a solution will be 
soon in coming, but "hosting" illegal copies of ASV (long abandoned, but 
still technically "supported") or using long-dead versions of Corel's 
viewer are not going to fly with these companies, and will hardly give 
credibility to SVG.

It is not the question of availability of a viewer, it is a question of 
the legitimacy and perception of viability of the viewer.

Same here.  I like Nico's idea and attitude, but pragmatically it won't 
fly for all needs.  Having the status of a technology pending the 
resolution of a lawsuit will not inspire confidence.
