I think putting a lot of effort into SVG is kinda moot now since Adobe is killing its SVG plugin for IE at the end of next year.... unless Firefox gets a majority market share or someone gets a free software IE plugin released by then. Beyond that, though, most of this discussion is about streaming video and audio sync, neither of which SVG was ever intended to support. I think the Gnash project has a better chance of catching up with Flash than SVG plus (whatever other technologies would be needed to recreate the functionality of Flash) does, so I hope free software SWF authoring tools continue to improve.
