A few thoughts:
1 - In the current icon database code, there's very little unique to any file format (or image format) that prevents any resource data from being saved to the icon database.  Are you sure that an SVG file is *not* saved to the database today?

2 - In the short-to-midterm future, we're going to be deprecating the icon database altogether and moving away from the WebKit(WebCore) managed database mechanism on disk.  The replacement will be a pure thin client interface up to the embedding application that gives it the url/sizes/type of the proposed icon, asks for a load decision, and delivers the resource data.  In this future, it will truly be format-agnostic and it will be entirely up to the embedding application to manage the fact that it's SVG and to render it at the appropriate resolution.
