somewhat longer: my understanding of this part of the code is that the
part that must be adjusted is done only internally in HTInit.c using
the HTSetConversion() functions.  There's no lynx.cfg setting which
touches this, but adding a call that duplicates the function of this

 HTSetConversion("application/html", "www/source",
                 HTPlainPresent, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0);

with something like

 HTSetConversion("image/svg+xml", "www/source",
                 HTPlainPresent, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0);

might make the code do what you need.
