We are using flex to produce all our graphs, and just beta with a new OEM graphing engine. I looked at using SVG for graphing and it does some cool things but as you said it is looking dead. SAS did a powerpoint/screencast demo of the new flex based dashboards they are working on, screensot is here: <a href="http://sunz.net.nz/sunz-2010/sunz-2010-opening-key-note" rel="nofollow"> Slide # 22 Looked pretty cool.

A lot of Silverlight is also done in text (XAML) files but they are compiled before they reach the client (a good thing, IMO). Flex is really not an SVG replacement and SVG is dead from everything I have seen despite doing some cool stuff. SAS apparently demo'd a Flash front-end today in Steamboat Springs. I haven't seen it yet. Perhaps by SGF. Silverlight needs a mention as well.
