So I agree that `.svg` and `.svgz` should have separate media types, the file formats themselves are completely different. One is gziped (binary data), the other is XML (text). Consider a system which allows a user to upload files via HTTP POST or PUT, perhaps that system wants to do something special with XML and/or text documents. When the file is uploaded, the Content Type in the HTTP request is set to `image/svg`, but the server now has no idea if it is receiving an `svg` or `svgz` file. The server would have to do extra file-type determination just for SVG, whereas for the majority of other formats, using the Media Type is sufficient.
