I found this Web Page by looking at your "head" information:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/

This specification defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector 
Graphics (SVG), a language for describing two-dimensional vector and 
mixed vector/raster graphics in XML.

    1.1 About SVG

This specification defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector 
Graphics (SVG) <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/>.

SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. SVG 
allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (e.g., 
paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text. 
Graphical objects can be grouped, styled, transformed and composited 
into previously rendered objects. The feature set includes nested 
transformations, clipping paths, alpha masks, filter effects and 
template objects.

SVG drawings can be interactive and dynamic. Animations can be defined 
and triggered either declaratively (i.e., by embedding SVG animation 
elements in SVG content) or via scripting.
