I think, based on a quick, but very satisfying, conversation in the elevator at the conference, that WebKit will be supporting a lot more SVG pretty soon. I suspect Google, like Apple, will always lag a bit behind the new WebKit releases since presumably they have to drop W-K into a product and then track down all the repercussions -- it's hard to imagine there would be none of those. The diagram in the cartoon shows WebKit very central to the workings of Chrome and I think we all got the idea that SVG is very central to WebKit, both technologically and idealogically. Maybe Adobe will feel left out and reintroduce ASV in a new user-agent, just to put a foot in that particular ring -- either that or they'll release it and any associated patents? (I rather doubt that, since it seems like I heard that ASV shares technologies with a dozen other Adobe products).
I, for one, am going to spend some time seeing if I can make some slightly more adventurous demos, since it sounds now like it is just a matter of time 'til the others decide it is time to catch up with Opera in terms of fully implementing the spec. First and foremost it'd be nice to have a filter to convert bitmaps to paths like apparently happens in the diffusion curves video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEVe7vU5WiU . If it's good enough for particle physics it's good enough for Disney, as I always say.

I am using it now. It does support SVG but seems to be an earlier version of WebKit. There is no animation support. It appears some of the new JavaScript engine needs work - my map controls don't always work. Overall it is pretty solid but is is definitely a beta.
