The serializer wouldn't have anything to do with the actual drawing - it would simply translate SVG files into the shape DOM defined in org.apache.pivot.wtk.media.drawing. It probably wouldn't support SVG animation syntax, though - just the DOM. There are currently a couple of examples of animating this DOM in the demos and tutorials.
