Google Brings SVG Support To IE

stelt writes "Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is in most graphical tools. It is used heavily in many big projects, such as KDE and Wikipedia. But Internet Explorer's lack of built-in support for SVG was keeping it away from mainstream use on the web. Google is fixing that now with a JavaScript drop-in named SVGWeb. They've posted a quick, one-minute overview, a longer and more detailed presentation, and you can read about it on the project page."

I parsed that sentence the exact same way, intially, assuming it was a joke from the poster.

Then I realized after a few seconds that it's not Internet Explorer that was kept away from mainstream web use, but SVG that was kept away from mainstream web use _by_ Internet Explorer....
