No, it won't whither away. Just as you can still find a small
percentage of sites that actually have correct markup and care about
supporting browsers other than the big two, you'll always find a small
percentage of sites that care about the speed a page loads and
honoring the users preferences. From the looks of things, (X)HTML will
work better for those people than SVG.
