With great difficulty

- can you generate it on the server with PHP, ASP or any server side process at all, without any special extensions?
|
Absolutely. Not the entire .swf, but you can create/change a helluva lot at runtime. ColdFusion MX is the bomb for comunicating with Flash. (No suprise considering who makes them both)

- do you have a choice of built-in animation syntax (SMIL), or the option of doing all animation through custom scripting?

You have the option of traditioanl keyframing, tween based animation, script based animation, or programs such as Discreet Plasma or Swift3D which are full-featured 3D apps designed especially to outout .swf's.

Viewing: no. Editing: Almost.

- can you edit movies in a plain-text editor?

Nup, only classes and resources (functions, etc.)

- does it have a DOM?
- is it developed independently of the commercial interests of a single company?

LOL, no point me answering those two
You do realise that I took the view of a hard line Flash user just to get more info about SVG, don't you?
