Well, they sorta did... Vector Markup Language, along with Adobe's Precision Graphics Markup Language, were two of the main submissions to the W3C's SVG Working Group when it was first drawing up the new file format. (Rephrased, the W3C accepted VML as a submission, even though they didn't rubber-stamp it as their final document.)

"... there'd be full support in flash mx?"
Any particular type of "support" you'd be seeking here? Some Microsoft apps include a VML renderer, and I'm not sure of its size. Or would you be looking more at the authoring tool, whether for import, export, something else...?

Theme: The Macromedia Flash Player earned its initial reputation for efficient vector graphics in browsers, but it has come a long, long way since then, too. The new version tries to help with rich web applications which overtax existing HTML/JS abilities.
