That is slightly odd, as it could be read to mean a superset of SVG
rather than (as was intended) a subset. I suggest this minor
clarification:

While SVG 1.1 requires [0] in addition to plain text encoding that
conforming SVG implementations must correctly support gzip-encoded
[RFC1952] and deflate-encoded [RFC1951] data streams, (etc etc)
