No. Both Opera and Firefox have really good SVG support in 
their latest
version (both available for free). Likewise,for IE there is 
the good Adobe
plugin, which is installed more or less automatic, and free, 
too.

Not sure about Safari. And konqueror, you need fairly late 
one for that,but
upgradingKDE is a bit of a pain. OTOH, these two do not 
really matter in
the browser statistics atm.

The real reason why SVGs aren't simple allowed as uploads is 
that SVG can
contain scrips that are executed client-side, and this poses 
a security
risk.(You dont want to let everyone upload scripts that are 
executed
automatically on each visitors machine).

And since there is currently no real "cleaner" for SVG to 
get rid of the
scripts, the raster-solution was used.

Yes its not optimal and I think SVG should be allowed since 
its very cool
and usefull. But something needs to be done about the 
scripts first.

Btw, anybody wanting to play around with SVG and mediawiki 
can install this
extension:

The page also shows you whether your browser supports SVG.

Best wishes,
