FYI: Possible problems when using SAXON and SVG in i-f-o

Turns out that SAXON 8 (including the latest version) does not properly
build W3C DOMs. It uses empty strings for the namespace URI instead of
null values. Batik's SVG DOM currently doesn't (defensively) convert
empty strings to null values to avoid the problem. If anyone wants to
use FOP Trunk with SAXON 8 and SVG in instream-foreign-objects, there
will be trouble.
