Webgadget, IE10 and HTML5

I've just installed IE10 on my Win7 computer. I wrote a simple PB program that uses the webgadget to open a local HTML file that contains an inline SVG. The page shows, but without the SVG.

I've opened the HTML file direct in IE10 and it displays fine. It's only in the PB webgadget that the SVG doesn't show.

This is PB v5.2b5.

EDIT: The problem also applies to the HTML5 canvas element, audio element and video element, so it's clearly not specific to SVG but something affecting all modern (in IE terms) web gizmos.

Does anyone have any ideas? Apparently, PBv5.2 doesn't use the ATL.dll, so this problem can't be due to that. So what does PB use to create the webgadget on Windows?

Was this a silly question? It seems pretty important to me...

It's a very important question, I hope someone has an answer.

You need to enable browser emulation for your app in the registry, here is an example : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730.aspx
