All browsers already do.
I think he means SVG, which is still nascent at best for most people. E.g. viewing
http://zenii.linux.org.uk/~ober/protos.html
is iffy at best on my system here at home (Linux). It's OK-but-not-great on Windows XP at work. Vector graphics in JavaScript is cool and all, but it doesn't come close to SVG's potential. Take filters, for example:

I want my spectrally-highlighted, Gaussian-blurred, bouncing geometric shapes with gradient-filled text, and I want them NOW.
