It sounds like what you're asking for is content sniffing.

.svgz is a file extension which requires the server to be set up correctly.  Similarly to serving a .html.gz file and expecting it to render correctly. :)  I assume you wouldn't argue that when a server hands us a .html file with something that looks like a gzip header we should try decoding it and rendering it "just in case". :)

.svgz files on local disk are a slightly different since there isn't really a server in place to set-up correctly.  Which is what this bug is about.  On Mac OS X, local .svgz handling should be fixable in the OS.
