I can't speak for the developers of Batik, but the usual reason that GIF is
not supported
in open-source software is because anyone who creates tools that generate
GIFs must
pay a patent licence fee for the priveledge. With an open-source project,
there isn't a
clear body to pay those licence fees. Hence, GIF tends to be excluded.

With svg2png-Serializer works fine in Mozilla, but IE cannot handle transparancy of png-images and other browser probably have the same or other problems.
It's a pity that GIF requires a licence fee.
