Comment(by DonaldKerr):

 Including VML support is very important since IE8 does not support SVG.
 IE8 is the standard corporate offering in XP which, I have read somewhere,
 will be supported up to 2020: This means that it's likely that the
 corporate world will be in no rush to change to Win7/IE9 with SVG support.
 Microsoft will not add SVG to IE8. I know this is a Microsoft problem but
 the customer base I am writing for is XP/IE8. For that reason, please do
 not abandon VML support. Having said that, VML rendering in IE8 is very
 slooooooow.
