Paul, Check out the possibility of using the Mozilla ActiveX control in IE to display SVG. The ActiveX control uses the full Mozilla/Firefox rendering engine, so it supports the same level of SVG as Firefox does.
The control is packaged as part of the Mozilla XUL Runner project and can be downloaded from here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.8.1.3/contrib/win32/ Note, that currently, the control is not enabled to work "out-of-the-box" with IE, but I have a small patch on my website that enables it: http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2006/12/xule-what-if/ More here: http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2007/01/mozilla-activex-control/ In the Firefox3 timeframe, the ActiveX control will be enabled for use in IE by default and, if registered, will automatically handle displaying SVG resources in IE. Just click on an SVG link or navigate to an SVG URL and the Mozilla control will take over rendering the content. XULRunner Alpha6 (end of June 07) should be the first version with the IE/SVG support turned on (no patches needed).
