Actually I am already in the process of adapting to use a recent build 
and since I see the examples in it do work
It may have been a temporary issue.... but It literally fails to detect 
that the browser is supporting SVG... (If
I override and tell it to go ahead and try to use svg, Safari doesnt 
render the svg.)
