Hi Martin , and welcome to the fun world of cross browser development. Probably your best bet is to place the svg image in an iframe as this will work fine for any of the browser contexts that support SVG. It also has the added benefit of being w3.org valid.
Another way is to place an embed element inside an object element although this latter approach will not validate.
