No, 90% of IE8 was about CSS 2.1 compliance.

Microsoft knows SVG support is critical. They already have VML so it's not like they don't already have something they can rework. Also they've showed up last minute at a big SVG meeting a couple months ago. I doubt we'll see full support of any of the existing SVG standards; we're likely to see reasonable support for it.

XHTML or fail. Microsoft has hinted that the ground has been slowly been laid out for XHTML support and there isn't any excuse. They bring in billions a year and they've been holding the web back. As far as I'm concerned if we don't see XP, XHTML, JavaScript 1.6+, reasonable SVG, and reasonable CSS3 property support I will ban IE users on non-business related sites permanently.
