SVG is an open standard from the W3C.

It's very compact, and supports a very rich set of animation
constructs using SMIL (another W3C standard). These
animations can be keyframe based spline interpolations that
are done on the client side, so there is no huge bandwidth
penalty to pay for downloading a large set of raster images
as with the filmstrip or 'animate ? ? ?' methods.

This would be an excellent addition to the supported format
list.

All depends on the file format and wether royalties would have to be
paid or not...

Open Standard? Fill your boots? Have at it? Enjoy? Bon appetit? Help
yourself?
Be my guest? Fair game?

You can read about the file format yourself at www.w3c.org

You can judge for yourself if that place has any credibility. I think
they'll be
around for a while, but that's just me.

There are plenty of neat examples and demos of .svg on the internet if you
try
any of the search engines.
