It's a good start, but they don't seem to be indexed as images. (see google image search)
And they still don't follow the links inside the SVG, so you can't have a site made entirely in SVG for now.

Um, the site fastsvg.com seems to follow links from a central site map written in svg. But on the site map the text overflows the boxes, at least in my Firefox. Konqueror doesn't work with svg IME.
The text is within the boxes for me (firefox 3.6). The links work as expected.

It's a step in the right direction at least.
SVG is really useful and it's even more useful once it's content is fully labeled and indexed.
I think standard document formats are more useful when they support machine indexing. I'll go so far as to say non-indexable formats are doomed. But I'm kind of crazy that way...

The Google crawler does not follow the links inside SVG, so in a multi-page SVG-only website only the front page will be indexed.
