The other options outside of an IE plugin are:
1) wait until IE natively implements SVG (and XHTML while we're at it)
2) wait until another browser becomes the dominant UA in web browsing
3) wait until WPF/E becomes widely deployed in IE, write a library to
go from SVG to XAML (note: does this also mean the WPF/E is under the
same click-to-activate behavior in IE6?)
4) update DENG to support full SVG (including scripting)
5) use Dojo2D or another Ajaxy toolkit that supports SVG. To my
knowledge, Dojo2D doesn't yet support transforming declarative SVG
into VML, it's all done procedurally via scripting, if I'm not
mistaken, which means it's potentially slow, though I haven't tried it)

Anyway, looks like the Mozilla option is "almost there" (from an
armchair perspective). But the control/project hasn't been updated in
almost a year, I've emailed Adam to ask if he's still active on it.
I'd also ask where's the Moz 1.8.1 version of the control, but a Moz
1.8.0 version of the plugin would still be worthwhile.

Next, how does one go about configuring an ActiveX control to handle
specific MIME types as a plugin in IE?
