Description

The SVG file attached to the issue is interpreted as text/plain by

tika.detect(filePath)

 

If I add 

 <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> 

at the beginning of the file, then tika detects it as  "image/svg+xml"

 

When i read the documentation i see that xml is not necessary for a file to be well-formed

https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-prolog-dtd

 

It will be great if tika can detect a file as a SVG without the prolog
