http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ is a kind of reference browser from the W3C. The release history lists the first SVG support in Amaya 4.0 from 10 November, 2000.
Amaya does not render correctly the most basic SVG files. Even IE6 would make a better reference implementation of web standards.
Batik seems to be the most well-tested and conformant implementation of SVG at the moment: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/status.html, though I would use WebKit as reference because of it's market share and potential of Google and Apple to change the SVG spec.
"Now we get around the efficiency stuff the same way Barton did on the B5000: by just saying, “Screw it, we’re going to execute this important stuff as directly as we possibly can.”
We’re not going to worry about whether we can compile it into a von Neumann computer or not, and we will make the microcode do whatever we need to get around these inefficiencies because a lot of the inefficiencies are just putting stuff on obsolete hardware architectures."
Exercise in the morning, or at least before noon, for 30 minutes or more, and eat a decent meal just after. You'll find that'll give you energy throughout the day, including after a long day at work. Then, pick one thing, focus on it, and achieve clear goals. Refer to what the original article terms success spirals.
