This, imo, represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the typical use case.

If posting the image on a typical forum requires more than some sort of [img]http://foohost.com/23452t23t.baz[/img] it's a non-starter.

Yes. SVG works in that use case.

with animations.

it does.

I misunderstood nothing.

behold:

"svg with css animations img tag " and the object tag ones are the only SVG-based ones that worked for me.

Still, that's awesome. Need a simple "animated gif to animated jpeg (svg)" converter tool.

I think I am having issues with http headers on my server, making not the best impression.
The SVG inside an <img> tag doesn't animate under Firefox for me.
The video one or the css animations one?
The video one doesn't seem to load for me. The CSS animation one works fine when I view it alone, but isn't animated when embedded in the web page.
hmm I may have to iron out some bugs.
