Has SVG not been around a lot longer than HTML5? The article says "This is a HTML5 tag to draw a vector graphics"
And pretty sophisticated JS libraries have been built to make use of this technology in web applications. The best IMHO is d3.js: http://d3js.org/ http://d3js.org/
- tptacek 14y agoYes. We had SVG back in '02-'03 (the company I was at built a product on it).

Much of the role of HTML5 is standardizing all the disparate technologies that are already being used to make sites but which aren't really regulated by the HTML standard.
