In general MediaWiki doesn't rely on the suffix either. For the major filetypes
that it supports it looks at the content to determine content-type. The suffix
is only used for consistency with expectations of both humans and 'dumb'
clients, because most of the rest of the world uses suffix and content-type
with hardly any double checking.

For MediaWiki it matters what is INSIDE the file, not how that file is
advertised. But as I stated earlier, it seems that XML files without xmlns are
valid XML files, so i'm not so worried about the content-type issue anymore.

My main concern now is that these are not valid SVG files and what would be
required for accepting non-valid files, without impacting functionality of
other SVG files (or security).
