I briefly discussed this issue with Chris Lilley (W3C) and he stated that only 
gzip compression (for single files) and no archives (zip/tar, etc.) are 
supported. The SVG spec does not mention archives anywhere, but just because 
something isn't mentioned, it doesn't mean that it is supported.
 
I don't know how the idea came up that archives should be supported. If Adobe 
did it, it is their own proprietary way of doing it (some proprietary SVG 
extension).
