A good example of use are charts - financial, metrics, stats - you name it.
The current path to using SVG has not yet been defined - till today's posting by the ever impressive Dave Hyatt - who explores a new way to implement webpages suited for those of us lucky enough to have high definition screens. It is essential reading for all who are developing the kind of breed of web app that defines that quirky web2.0 buzzword.... get it here...
