Um, leaving aside UTF-8, and noting that UTF-16 is not the same as
UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE, please justify this statement with reference toa
named portion of a specification.

Isn't this straying rather far away from the registration of the SVG
media type? Your original assertion that in the absence of a charset
parameter all +xml content defaults to UTF-8 having been proven false, I
am not really sure where this particular sub-thread is leading.
