So far so good.

Why a string?  This is what is making life difficult for you.  It is
better if you write the SVG generator as if it were an XML parser.

Put your svg generator into a class which implements the XMLReader
interface.  Then call this using a URI Resolver, so that in the XSLT
you can include the SVG by the document() function.  If you have Mike
Kay's book, look up the 'GEDCOM' example.
