I would point out that if you embed the script in your SVG, it can
be gzipped already :-)
OK, that is a bad answer.

There is a single mime type for SVG file but they can be either
compressed
or uncompressed.
The type attribute in the <script> element is also a mime type, so
it does not seem far fetched to say that the script file could be
either compressed on uncompressed.
I suggest you add an RFE (Request For Extension, or is it Requested
Feature
Extension?) in Bugzilla if you care about this feature:
