"SVG is inherently animated" is new to me, and now I'm going to spend my time on the bus thinking what might be done with that. Does it support infinite loop?

SVG embeds Ecmascript (or Javascript as the rest of the world knows it): https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/script.html

So not only do you get all the animation support from the attributes, you can fill in anything you need from scripting.
