Hi,
 don't forget, that SVG namespace IS DEFINED in the DTD!
It is hidden and if you are matching just "svg" element
from null namespace, you will match nothing.

Try to match "svg:svg" element, where the prefix is defined
as follows:

xmlns:svg = http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable

(I hope, looking at your DTD name. The newer namespace
is http://www.w3.org/2000/svg. See our namespace
reference
http://www.zvon.org/index.php?nav_id=172 for details
and look for SVG)

I have crashed on that many times too :-)

Regards
Jirka
