A lot of news servers are going to filter this out as being too large.
It almost borders on "binary in a text group" except for it being fully
textual data itself. It would be like posting a large spreadsheet but
in csv format. 

As someone who runs a news server on a shoestring budget, and doesn't
accept binaries for a reason, I'm likely to find a a way to block
postings of SVG files.
