well, as I mentioned: simply download Batik and try out all of the SVG 
examples. out of 25 just one worked; they are o.k. in fact they hace a 
DTD reference, but an absolute one:

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">

and most interestigly also the one that works has this reference. so 
they do not differ in some basic property.

(btw. I detected this problem also with some of my own documents, some 
worked, some not; thought they are validated. but I would need to send 
them to you for testing, so simply try it with the batik examples!)

I think this is a serious bug/problem and should be solved? or is there 
a basic misunderstanding on my side?


thank you
