  brotli helps: $ echo '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="256" width="256" viewBox="0 0 1 1"><circle r="2" fill="#aad3df"/></svg>' | brotli -9 - | wc -c 93

    Couldn't resist trying to go further. We can use an implicit viewBox. $ echo '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="256" width="256"><circle r="1000" fill="#aad3df"/></svg>' | brotli -9 - | wc -c 83 r="1000" hits brotlis built-in dictionary, but if you target zlib then r="2566" is better.

      You can also drop the new line character by using echo -n, which gives 82 bytes :)

      Can you use a short closing tag "</>" or implicit closure?

        Those are both sgml (as opposed to xml) things. Neither validates.
