Yes - misunderstanding on my side ;o)
Currently you have to reference an SVG tiny 1.2 document, this can have 
viewBox="none". On the other hand there is no need for SVG tiny 1.2 viewers
to interprete viewBox in an #svgView ;o)
Obviously for SVG tiny 1.2 one can trigger an animation to set the viewBox
to none instead of using an #svgView - but this has to be prepaired by the 
author of the referenced document, not by the author of the referencing 
document ... 

Maybe 'none' will be available in SVG 2 as well? - Who knows (not in the 
current draft as many nice features from SVG tiny 1.2).
Of course this will not help for SVG 1.1 documents and viewers like
Mozilla, not interpreting SVG tiny 1.2 ...
