A completely reasonable expectation: after doing just a simple removal
of a lot of data that was encoded in CDATA elements, the image size is
reduced by a factor of 20, which results in the SVG available at
http://crschmidt.net/tmp/icecream.svg .

(This URL is not permanent: it may dissapear at some point in the
future.)

This image is only 21kb, as opposed to 450.

Key to creating decent SVG from Adobe is to just check the content by
hand: it's really easy to pull out a lot of stuff most of the time, in
my experience.
