What would the HTML to do this look like? What's the equivalent of
<IMG SRC="foo.jpg"> for foo.svg?
In browsers which support it <img src="foo.svg"> will work (with certain limitations for security reasons). If you want to embed svg inline like you can with XHTML, that's not currently supported...

Supporting <img src="foo.svg"> is a requirement of SVG 1.1 [1]

It is true that you can't use inline markup. As far as I know, <img src="foo.svg"> is only supported in Opera 9.5 betas (maybe webkit nightlies, I forget). It's also bad HTML, since it lacks any kind of fallback.

But you can use <object data-"foo.svg"></object> (again bad HTML, it should generally have some kind of fallback content - and a size). Unfortunately, of course, IE is still holding you back from doing it on the open web that simply :(
