This raises the obvious question - how do you tell??
As I read the RFC, you are supposed to define the mediatype
of the data object. I would suspect that this should be "image/png",
or "image/jpeg", but in your example, the datatype is left blank.
According to the RFC, that means it's text/ascii - but it's not :(.
Is there an undefined "default" for SVG viewers to use that
is different from the RFC, or is this simply a bug in Illustrator's
SVG export module?
