I strongly suggest keeping `.svg`. SVG Native is 100% compatible to SVG and there is no need to exclude SVG Native from the dozens of SVG viewers that exist today and might not get updated anymore to be able to open the new file extension as well. When it comes to the MIME type the same may apply but on the server side. It took years to get `image/svg` on the list of supported MIME types for Apache. SVG Native might not be in the situation where it gets added at all. Authors might use `image/svg` right from the beginning to avoid these problems. I have a lot of scepticism about a new MIME type. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dirkschulze Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/664#issuecomment-483522859 using your GitHub account
