I am running Firefox 2.0.0.6 and was able to display every one of the examples 
on the page linked above.  The Invaders demo ran too slow, but I was 
surprised to find that the Tetris demo actually worked.  Even the XBL demos 
worked fine.  My favorite:

It will still be a while before SVG is fully supported, but it is not too 
early to start playing with. ;)
