Re: Howto compress svg, that will then validate?

The validator should be updated to handle compressed svg (i.e. the validator
should decompress the file before parsing it.  I consider it a validator
bug.

Here's how I generate svgz files:

$ cat foo.svg | gzip > foo.svgz

If you're using Windows, then you can download cygwin...
