The FAQ for Mozilla/SVG says 
<blockquote>If there is a grey area above the source that says something like
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with
it", then your problem is probably that you haven't given your root <svg> tag an
'xmlns' attribute or that the value you gave it contains an error. The correct
string is "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg".</blockquote>

I see many SVG files that do not specify the namespace. Would it be reasonable
to enable SVG rendering if the document type is "image/sgv+xml" (or "*/*+xml")
and the root node is "svg" and the namespace is either not specified or one of
the published svg namespaces (i.e. "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" or
"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable" )?

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
show xml code for svg file

Expected Results:  
show the rendered svg file

the acrobat plugin does this in in ff and ie AFAIK...
