  1. Okay, so this might be a trivial example, but why not use SVG for creating graphic buttons/menus with dynamically generated text?

    Or here's another trivial example: anti-aliased text. I just spent an entire day redoing the @#%$ graphics in the notes.net discussion database (which are "Image Resources": the %$@!#est thing Iris ever implemented, since once you put them into the database there's no decent way to get them out and edit them--much like HTML you put into a db, but I digress) so that they'd be transparent and not look crappy on a colored background, and I kept thinking to myself "why did they use graphics for dumb things like 'Preview: you must click Post to submit your comment.' and stuff like that. The answer must be that they wanted anti-aliased text. Well, SVG would be a much better way!
