I think "max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%;" should work, but I have the feeling it didn't last time I tried.

But when I put this in my document, Safari does nicely resize the picture to fit the width, but when the window width gets less than the width of the picture, it starts to leave gaps above and below the picture, keeping the overall height of the gap the same - I'm guessing this is because of the viewBox dimensions.

I use that SVG code for covers too. My experience is that not all web browsers (HTML or readers) support SVG, and those who do tend to have bugs. So do not trust what you see in a browser if you are creating an ePUB book. A possible theory, from what you say and from what I've seen, is that browsers have problems determining the height of the window/frame/viewable area, so measurements relying on that can be problematic (my proposed max-height:100%, the height:100% in the SVG...). I would test the code in a real ebook reader, or in ADE, at least.
