2) Firefox can open the SVG file and view the image, but it does not scale and

If I press Ctrl with the plus or minus keys (or View>  Zoom ... on the Firefox 
menus),
I can change the text size (and table size) in Firefox very nicely.

The problem with that is that the whole site domain (i.e. projectaon.org) will also be scaled to the same size, I think. So getting the table right to view might mean making the text on all other pages too large/too small.

Okay; that appears to work, but I was thinking more along the lines that in 
reverse (i.e. automatically sizing the text, etc based on the overall size of 
the table). If I get more free time later I'll try to thin down the file size 
(unless Tom jumps in at some point with a better alternative).

If you save the SVG from Inkscape as a Compressed Plain SVG (*.svgz) it comes out at about 18.1Kb, which should be fine. We already serve the flowcharts for the b ooks as svgz files, so the projectaon.org server can cope with that. (See this for example: <http://projectaon.org/staff/simon/Files/CombatResults-NO.svgz>)
