File storage and use of the "svgz" "file extension" are examples, there
are other ways to store content on a server and even where file storage
is used, the file system may not have a notion of file name extensions,
and even if, the use of ".svgz" is not an absolute requirement. So yes,
the text is incorrect.

The statement is trivial and any reader of this section can assumed to
be familiar with this information or expected to read up on it without
such clarification. The original statement is also incorrect, there is
no reason why the Working Group or reviewers should spend further time
on improving it.
