We expect the MIME type for the SVG image format (which is, indeed,

This is because it is an image format, and we need to do content
negotiation. For stand-alone files, the fact that it happens to be
written in xml is less important than the fact that it is an image.
I would have thought that the fact that it's in SVG is also more
important for dispatching purposes than the fact that SVG happens
to use XML syntax. Also... is this going to be the only xml-encoded
image format anyone ever creates?
I'm dubious about the modest proposal, but both image/svg or image/svg-xml
seem much more useful than image/xml. -Tim
