Well, in the sense that DOC is a defacto standard for word processing,
similarly WMF is kind of a defacto standard for clipart.  SVG is kinda
like where PNG was 5 years ago - yes it's an open standard supported by
the industry, but it's certainly not universally supported yet.  Heck,
even a lot of apps that support SVG don't support 100% of the standard
SVG features yet.
