Sorry, couldn't tell ya'.  I know Adobe is one of the few companies pushing
hard for adoption, as Macromedia would likely prefer not to see Flash
unseated by an open standard.

But visiting the Adobe site to see if the latest Illustrator imports SVG
seemed impossible:  all meaty information about product specs for
Illustrator there appear restricted to downloadable PDFs; little information
in available directly on the Web.

At Macromedia's site I could find only an aticle about how to write your own
SVG importer for Flash, not a confidence builder that they're serious about
supporting this open standard anytime soon.

I'm sure there are other tools that work with SVG, but until these two major
players get behind it across their product lines its future remains in
doubt. :(
