SVG is factually a reasonably good format.

- XML is the best deal since it allows mixing formats both in 
terms of attributes and elements. Critically important and 
frequently used feature.

- Text based is extremely convenient when programming dynamic 
inlined SVG, and it compresses well (~80%)

- SVG animation is based on SMIL, so it was based on an existing 
standard which is quite ok for what it does.

Do you guys have any real arguments against SVG? It is currently 
the most useful interchangeformat for 2D vector graphics.
