SVG renderers
Right now there are two significant renderers, the one from Adobe and the one in Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 has SVG built in. It can also still use the Adobe plugin. See and http://www.croczilla.com/svg/
Mapserver and SVG
I can change a .map file to generate SVG as output. See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/svg-howto/?searchterm=SVG for an example on how to do this.
What does using SVG output buy me?
See my demo at http://mapserver.wildsong.biz/svg/
It's broken right now because I want it to correctly generate gzip compressed images. Working on it... it appears to be a problem in the 4.6 sources. 05-July-2006
