SVG is an open data format for representing vector images. It does not have mainstream rendering support in web browsers, but should be enabled for upload on commons in order to store the SVG source files for many PNG images. Related to bug 667.
SVG, like HTML, supports dynamic scripting. Common plug-ins allow executing JavaScript in the browser context. SVG is disabled pending a safety filter.

There is a SVG sanitizer available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Aarchiba/SVG_sanitizer but, Brion says that it is insufficient but has not looked at the new version uploaded in late March that fixes the event hooks.
