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

I thought the intent would be more clear from the forking suggestion, 
but the goal is to make `image/svg+xml` **NEVER** allow code 
execution. If you need this "feature", make it available under a 
separate format (demarcated as "application/foo" rather than 
"image/foo", possibly as a svgx file rather than svg).

As the standard exists today, it's a security foot-cannon for 
developers.
