Re: [svgwg] SVG MIME Type (image/svg+xml) is misleading to developers

We chatted about this in our telcon on [27th October 
2016](https://www.w3.org/2016/10/27-svg-minutes.html#item04). 

The justification for the suggestion is totally valid. But we think 
that suggesting a mime type change is unlikely to be accepted. Content
 Security Policy is the preferred way to tackle these kind of issues. 
This work is not in scope of the SVG working group for the next year. 
Therefore, we suggest raising a thread on the [Web Incubator Community
 Group (WICG), in the SVG 
category](https://discourse.wicg.io/c/html/svg). The WICG is intended 
as a place to develop ideas prior to standardisation, and it's 
frequented by most of the spec editors and browser developers. You're 
likely to get a better discussion on WICG since this topic crosses 
many technical areas.

@paragonie-scott Are you happy to create a thread on WICG? I would 
suggest stating the problem (with no implied solution), then if you 
want to suggest a change to mime types, do that in a follow up post on
 the thread.
