I actually managed to manually trim out a lot of the garbage generated by 
Inkscape, producing a second version (attached).  It contains the same amount 
of raw data, but is 28.1k uncompressed (3.75k as svgz) which is much more 
acceptable.  If it looks like it is worth continuing then I can persist with 
this later, it still needs completing and a bit of a spruce-up.

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.

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:
