Steve, I got to this post by looking for solutions to the XML parsing error that occurred while trying to do the same thing. Making the addition to the mime.types file I think I can do because I can search the file, find it, and add the line in. The other fix you listed without any detail (referencing the namespace)--can you expound on that at all for the less technically savvy? Or give a link somewhere for details?
My URL:

You know - I can't for the life of me remember how I figured that out - one of those random bits of knowledge that I have stored in my memory.

In the svg file itself, if you open it up in a text editor - you'll find the following:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

the xmlns refers to an xml namespace. You simply insert the text noted above in there as well.

Take a look at the text in the following file:

Once it shows up, just view source on it.

this tag <v:newlineChar/> is not interpreted well in FireFox

Ah yes, I also had the same mistake, whilst wanting to insert technical documentation pictures. I settled for a loq quality gif export from Visio which was missing some arrows due to the low resolution that I required for it to fit on a web page, then a larger quality gif in it's own page which pops up when you click the low quality. I know it's very likely that the person reading the tech doc (my lecturer) will be using IE, but it doesn't feel right not having a web page that works well in browsers other than Internet Explorer.
I hope they can get a fix for this, I think it's due to the way Visio constructs the XML. Then again, Microsoft hasn't always cared about compatibility with other browsers, as evident with Frontpage. *sigh*

IE does not actually support SVG, that is up to and include IE8 beta. What you probably find you were using is the Adobe SVG plug-in. This is now deprecated and all major browser, other than Internet Explorer, support SVG. This includes Opera, Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox.
