Re: [svgwg] A separate MIME type for svgz files is needed (#701)

@longsonr Yeah, I know that.
The problem is that browsers can only recognize the binary data in a  `data:image/svg+xml;base64,...` as a malformed `svg`, not `svgz` (since there is no MIME type for `svgz` or any parameter like `;compression=gzip`). So browsers won't parse the data, its impossible.

Chrom(ium):
```
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
```
Firefox:
```
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: data:image/svg+xml;base64,...
Line Number 1, Column 1:
```
