Folks,
That solution worked in Saxon, but not Xalan, and unfortunately, it appears
as if either behavior could be correct.
David Carlisle pointed out when I posted this issue to an XSLT list:
>Note that the input document [the SVG doc] relies on the XML parser reading
the
>DTD and adding the xmlns attribute. The namespace REC explictly warns
>against doing this as a non validating parser (as used by most XSL
>systems) is not required to read the DTD. That is, even if the DTD
>does default this attribute you are recommended to explictly specify it
>in the document instance as well.
Sincerely,
David Kane

Subject: Re: SVG, XSLT and Namespaces
The DTD you reference defines a fixed xmlns attribute for the svg element of
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable (which has been updated in
later drafts). The effect should be equivalent of an explicit default
namespace declaration on the <svg> element, such as:
[snip]
That you should do is:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg-20000303-stylable"
version="1.0">
...
<xsl:template match="svg:path">
