I'm not sure that it gets a lot of play right now, but you might want to give 
it a try. SVG is an XML-based vector graphics description language ('SVG' 
stands for 'Scalable Vector Graphics'). Think CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator 
type graphics. This Adobe plugin basically enables your browser to display 
such these graphics, which may be either embedded in a web page or other 
document, or in files unto themselves. I'm not sure you're going to find much 
SVG graphics up on the web (yet), but if you want to play around with SVG 
graphics yourself, I would recommend this plugin.

As long as I'm on the topic, I've also played around with a package to create 
SVG graphics: sodipodi. It's a long way yet from CDraw and Illustrator, but 
it'll do the basics with a VERY smooth interface. 
http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/

I believe there may be a few other projects out there along the same lines, 
but haven't checked 'em recently.
