It probably shouldn't take an infinite amount of RAM (and crash FF) to display 40MB of text

SVGs aren't text files. They're an image that's described via an XML based format.

It isn't 40 MB of text. It's 40 MB of text marked up to look pretty.

If you could view the page source of the View Source window, you'd see all kinds of bold/italic/color styling and hyperlinks and whatnot.

Obviously there isn't actually source because all the formatting is generated at runtime from the input DOM tree, but the output DOM tree for a 40 MB input is going to be gigantic.

The view source option just displays the SVG source for me. And what would an SVG image have to do with the DOM?
