Well, this is truly scary as I'm developing a bunch of physics animations using svg. I hope they don't do away with it.

There are already some (imperfect) tools for rendering svg with javascript/canvas. If SVG ever went away as a standalone things it would be at a time where usable fallbacks ara available.

That said, Canvas doesn't yet support all the same fill modes as svg. I got caught by the lack of even-odd once.

Thanks. I'll keep it simple then.

SVG isn't going away; in fact it is likely to enjoy a surge in interest and adoption next year when IE9 is released, because for the first time a majority of web browsers will have SVG support.
