Thanks, I apologize if I have appeared to criticize something that currently works. That was not my intention. My argument was that it *used* to work (whether or not it was correct) and now doesn't. The maintenance burden of SVG has been very high for us when it should have been automatic 5 years ago. (The precise structure of the document was out of our control and was created from our files by the publisher). A positive aspect of this is that we should include an SVG validator in our client-side shopping list!
