Maybe I'm misinterpreting (or just have my facts wrong) but I thought SVG is generally poorly supported among browsers, even today. I seem to think WebKit browsers have decent support for it (though I remember it being sluggish in desktop Safari, and broken in Mobile Safari), and I'm not sure about IE support. Conversely, the newer CSS text effects seem to have better support. But I could be wrong. I'm not a web developer, it's just what I seem to remember.
