When I first heard the news of Google creating such a service, I tried to imagine what it would look like as part of the Google site. Perhaps I got carried away, but I decided to make a mock image of my thoughts. It's meant to be more comical than realistic of course. In addition, I wrote up an entry on my thoughts.
To me this reminds me of the way that EMCAscript, JavaScript and JScript diverged and became a HUGE problem for webdevelopers. Same with CSS. Since all these browsers are tapping into the same resource, they need to be accessing it and processing it in the same way so that there aren't so many translations of the same thing. Next thing you know, we may just have a King James version of the Internet!
If we want to be able to put SVG all over the place in XHTML, then we should push the whole standard in that direction, not just on a per browser basis.
