That's probably the path followed by Microsoft in Windows Live Local,
then.

I took a look at Windows Live Local and they seem to be using SVG only
for rather minor tasks (like superposing driving directions on a map).
Which other major players do you have in mind?
My experience (and private feedback I have got so far) is rather with
people giving up SVG with the arrival of Firefox 1.5 that has "broken
their applications" and I'd prefer to give a more positive view of the
situation!

Yes, that could be an option.
