It is a Usenet newsgroup and not a forum. Discussions on SVG are fine
here in my view but if you are looking for an SVG specific list/group
then try <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers/>.
But wherever you go consider that SVG 1.0 and SVG 1.1 are not new, that
the Adobe SVG viewer version 3 is some years old already so there is a
lots of existing materials, documentation, web sites, archived posts
that you can and should check.
See the SVG wiki for instance:
<http://svg-whiz.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page>
And I have already pointed you to the SVG specification. It helps
reading the section on the rendering model
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/render.html> to be able to answer your question.

An SVG graphics itself does not have a setable background color, you
would need to put a <rect> element as the first element to be drawn in
the SVG document and set fill and stroke so that you have borders and
background. But SVG graphics can be zoomed and panned so depending on
your needs how far the background should reach when someone zooms and
pans you need to make sure you set the right coordinates and dimensions
on that rect or event adjust them when panning or zooming happens.
