  1. 1. Element implementation status

You can find some basic examples of SVG syntax and usage in the W3C SVG test suite.

Gecko 2.0 note
(Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1)

Gecko now supports SVG animation using SMIL. See SVG animation with SMIL for a brief overview. Full documentation for SVG is forthcoming. Someday.
