Whenever I deal with SVG these days I use Google's svgweb project for near-universal compatibility: http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/
It uses native rendering when available, but falls back to a flash plugin that emulates SVG support when it isn't (meaning pre-IE9 Internet Explorer). This ends up covering ~95% of the market.
Also, I'd disagree that SVG is languishing. True, canvas is getting a lot of attention, but SVG is more than sufficiently mature to support projects like this.
