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.

  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.
