Thanks Bob... I think. 
Only half an error then :-)

might be worth playing with, though it is alpha.

Using the object tag or embed svg directly. 

<!--[if IE]>
<object src="../svg-files/helloworld.svg" classid="image/svg+xml"
        width="200" height="200"
        id="mySVGObject">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object data="../svg-files/helloworld.svg" type="image/svg+xml" 
        width="200" height="200"
        id="mySVGObject">
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>

good old IE. 

Lots of constraints currently, but promising. 
Not sure about uploading all the code to the web server though.
That sounds somewhat inhibiting.
