You are performing a slight-of-hand trick there.
The only way that IE can be counted as having that large a market
share is if you include all the older versions.  But those versions
don't support SVG.   IE9 per se has ~25% share on Windows 7, 
but most of the Windows world isn't yet using Windows 7.

Anyhow, the issue here is not religious views. It's just a matter of
working code. If you have a pointer to a coding example that handles
svg + scroll bars in IE9, please send it to me so I can have a look.
Or even just report back whether the current CVS version of gnuplot_svg.js
does or does not work in IE9.  Maybe they've unexpectedly decided to
be consistent with Firefox :-)
