  Forgetting for the moment the SVG issues, you're basically asking:
How do I convert the element

<image NAME="images/svg_test.svg" WIDTH="219" HEIGHT="174" />

into

<object data="images/svg_test.svg" width="219" height="174"
type="image/svg+xml"></object>

?

Looking at your template...

               <xsl:attribute name="type">
                  <xsl:value-of select="image/svg+xml" />
               </xsl:attribute>

Here's your immediate problem. The value-of above implies that there exists in the xml the following structure: <image NAME="..." WIDTH="..." HEIGHT="..."> <image> <svg+xml>...</svg+xml> </image> </image>

What you mean to say is <xsl:text>image/svg+xml</xsl:text> since that is the literal string that you wish to appear as the 'type' value.

Your whole template above can be written as <xsl:template match="image"> <object type="image/svg+xml"> <xsl:attribute name="data"><xsl:value-of select="@NAME"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="@WIDTH"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="height"><xsl:value-of select="@HEIGHT"/></xsl:attribute> </object> </xsl:template>

As for what fills the resultant object in your browser after this conversion, that is up to your browser configuration / object installation / registry settings.
