Adobe's EPUB Best Practices Guide has one stand-alone SVG file (in the OCF section near the start) which Bookworm (via FireFox) links to an external viewer, but the guide also recommends using SVG and the viewbox atribute for cover pages - and its cover page is in-lined using this approach. The graphics parts of the cover page are not displayed by Bookworm. Most "commercial" ePubs ignore this "best practice" and use a bit-mapped image for the cover page, probably because no common ebook format except ePub supports SVG (so publishers need a bitmapped version anyway).

The first example I saw is Cyclones from Adobe's sample library (and Wikipedia). It is image heavy, and a few of the images are SVG. This really shows that ePubs don't have to be conventional ebooks, but like most of Adobe'd examples it isn't standard conforming.

Thanks. Now that I know there's interest I'll get working on improving the SVG support.
