That's an absolute no. I don't think sodipodi was ever thought for 
animations. I didn't even know that animations were possible with SVG...

I would be surprised if it could... usually the 3D applications are meant to 
render to raster images and animations. SVG is a strictly 2-D format, AFAIK, 
and rendering from 3D to 2D vector graphics is a completly different deal 
than to raster images. I know it wouldn't be impossible: you just render the 
ortho projection of the primitives and probably loose a lot of detail and 
complex objects, depending on the limitations of the 2D shape and texturing 
model (SVG is quite limited, for example).
But! Maybe Blender can export to Postscript... that's another 2D vector 
format.

Arturo
