I am not sure that policy defines anything related to datasets bundled with Python. Even when try to adopt policy reading to this case, it doesn't look like a feature, but a bug fix.

SVG is a registered MIME type http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/mimereg.html, SVG is the most popular (the only one?) open source format for vector graphics, which should be present in Python database, but it isn't.

I don't know what do you mean by "work around". Users don't know that the source of the bug is missing information from mimetypes package.
