There are numerous ways you could do this.  One is:

  /Class/.test(Packages.org.apache.batik.anim.AnimationEngine)

Yes, that is the desired behaviour.  For now you could do something like
have a useless set element in the document:

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <set attributeName="display" to="inline"/>
  </svg>

The reason I am reluctant to kick off the animation engine for all
documents is that it isn’t clever yet about when to check for updates.
Even if there are no animations active, it’ll sit there chewing up the
CPU looking for them every tick.

Stay tuned…

Animation engine only loaded when animation is present

[Urs Reupke <ur...@gmx.net>]

Hi Cameron,
is there any chance to add switch that forces the engine to load
no matter what?
I can well foresee a scenario in which I'd be forced
to add animation to a preloaded document on short notice, depending on 
events and the underlying model state, and this could be very helpful.
