How to reference symbols defined in a separate file?

Hi,

I tried to use a symbol which was defined in another file than
the one where the symbol shall be used.
The way I did it was:

# symbol-use-file: test.svg:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG December 1999//EN" 
  "SVG-19991203.dtd">
<svg width="500" height="500">
  <g>
    <use xlink:href="my_symbol.svg#my_symbol" x="150" y= "150" />
    <rect width="50" height="50" style="fill:green" />
  </g>
</svg>

# symbol-def-file: my_symbol.svg:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG December 1999//EN" 
  "SVG-19991203.dtd">
<svg width="500" height="500">
    <symbol id="my_symbol">
	    <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="20" style="fill:white;stroke:black" />
	    <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="10" style="fill:blue" />
    </symbol>
</svg>

I tried it with viewers from alphaworks and cmis:
I could only see the green rectangle but not my symbol!

What did I wrong?

Regards Jürgen
