Except that it doesn't work that way, at least for my simple test case.

SVG is uncompressed text.  PNG compresses well, at least for simple cases.

PNG, 8K:

SVG, 46K:

(It doesn't work right in my browser.  It shows up as type text/plain rather 
than image/svg. I don't know if that's my screwup or a bug in my ISP's web 
server.)

It works OK if I download it and view it with Firefox from my disk.
