You can do this:

	<embed id="svg" width="100%" height="100%" src="<?php echo
$this->action('app/controller/action.svg') ?>" type="image/svg+xml" />

Adding the `svg` to the href makes Solar to look for action.svg.php
template for that action. Then in that template you can generate the
output and set correct headers for the content.

Take a look at Solar_App_Bookmarks and see how RSS is served.
