The solution may be to either:
 * Have the correct HTTP header sent, or
 * gzip the file, or
 * save it as Gzip'd svg (svgz)

first option is out, because it requires hacking moin, which isn't going
to happen on w.u.c. Third option might make it into an Inkscape only
file, I don't know if other editors support svgz.

I'm using Firefox in Dapper and it loads just fine in my browser. I
click the link and get the pretty Ubuntu palate scaled to fit my browser
window.
