I think the word you're looking for is "most" :)

In fact, all major browsers except IE have supported scripted SVG
since about 2006 so (in my opinion) there's almost no need to check.

My recommendation:  use an html:object referencing your SVG with HTML
fallback.  This scenario will mean that with IE users if a SVG plugin
is installed (ASV, Renesis, Saverese) then the SVG will still show up.

If you want to further check in script you can try to create a
namespaced <svg> element in script and fail out if that didn't work
perhaps?
