Duh. Sorry to everyone for being confusing.
I meant to type "image/svg" but obviously was thinking of too many
things at once.
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.
;-) yes.
I'm dubious about the modest proposal, but both image/svg or image/svg-xml
seem much more useful than image/xml. -Tim
Yes, I agree. And I don't see the value of image/svg-xml, since there is
not likely to be a different, non-xml, svg.
