We definitely need to hasten the demise of ASV and provide IE
alternatives.  Of course that was one of the main themes of SVG Open
this year.

The pluginless/shim approach :
  * SVG Web: http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/
  * AmpleSDK: http://www.amplesdk.com/

On the plugin side:
  * Ssrc: http://www.savarese.com/software/svgplugin/
  * Chrome Frame: http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/

Unfortunately Chrome Frame does not automatically handle the SVG MIME
type so you'd have to add the meta tag in the HTML and dynamically
create your SVG elements using JavaScript.  Hoping to get that fixed
one day: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24257

Regards,
Jeff
