Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) usage by MediaWiki on the backend and web browsers on the frontend faces a couple obstacles, but things are looking better.

[edit] Native browser support
As of April 2009, browser support was quite high for SVG 1.1, with all browsers bar Internet Explorer supporting over half of the W3C test suite. Opera scores 94.16%, Safari 64.23%, Google Chrome 61.86%, Mozilla Firefox 60.40% and Konqueror 53.28%. That leaves Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) as the only major browser without native SVG support though there are 3rd party plugins available for IE.
