suppose `plainsvg.svg` is a plain svg and `gzippedsvg.svgz` is a gzipped svg  then if you do:
```
$ mv  gzippedsvg.svgz  gzippedsvg.svg
$ xdg-mime query filetype test.svg
```
you get: `image/svg+xml`

and if you do:
```
$ mv  plainsvg.svg  plainsvg.svgz
$ xdg-mime query filetype test.svg
```
you get: `image/svg+xml-compressed`

it seems that command use the file extension... not ( only? )  the magic number! (better the `file` command to determine file type?)
