I subscribed to the SVG public mailing list for part of last year, as I was
working on a module to 'plot' graphics from my company's main application
to SVG files, in anticipation of this becoming a widely supported format.
I watched an understandable format turn into a huge, bloated one that
is so complicated that there are bound to be significant incompatibilities
between implementations. SVG includes, by reference, CSS2, DOM2(?),
XLink, XPointer, and several other complex specifications that just add
to this.
For use on a phone, I think you'd have to define a cSVG with so many
restrictions that you couldn't take much advantage of SVG tools.
