I've been using the jQuery.svg plugin to do some SVG rendering and it works perfectly but I also want to have the server render some SVG into the page and I can't get that to work. How do I add some SVG like below into the page so that Firefox will render it?

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"
       preserveAspectRatio="none"
       viewBox="0 0 100 100">
    <linearGradient id="background_gradient_black" x1="0%" y1="10" x2="0%" y2="90" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <stop offset="0%"   stop-color="#000" stop-opacity="1" />
      <stop offset="45%"  stop-color="#444" stop-opacity="1" />
      <stop offset="55%"  stop-color="#444" stop-opacity="1" />

      <stop offset="100%" stop-color="#000" stop-opacity="1" />
    </linearGradient>
    <rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" fill="url(#background_gradient_black)"" />
  </svg>

Do I need a meta tag saying that there is SVG content in the page or define the SVG namespace somehow?
