Bjoern, Yes, you are correct. With sXBL, the specfications only talk about SVG documents (image/svg+xml). If you put your sXBL definitions in an external file, that external file must an SVG document. This was one of the key simplifications with sXBL. The SVG working group did not want to open up the issue of how SVG needs to deal with resources from a non-SVG file. (So far, all SVG resources stored in external files must be stored in SVG documents. This is true for gradients, patterns, filters, symbols and fonts.) For XBL 2.0, of course this constraint that all documents must be SVG documents is likely to be removed. We haven't addressed this issue yet in the task force formally, but early discussion for XBL 2.0 there has been talk about allowing developers to store their XBL bindings in an external file which is either a generic XML file (e.g., mybindings.xml) or a new XBL filetype (e.g., mybindings.xbl) and not force developers to store their bindings in an SVG (or XHTML) document. Mozilla XBL allows mybindings.xbl, I believe.
