Bernard, The xmlns:xlink declaration is required. See the SVG spce, section 5.3.2:
"In all cases, for compliance with the "Namespaces in XML" Recommendation [XML-NS], an explicit XLink namespace declaration must be provided whenever one of the above XLink attributes is used within SVG content. One simple way to provide such an XLink namespace declaration is to include an xmlns attribute for the XLink namespace on the outermost 'svg' element for content that uses XLink attributes. For example: <svg xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"...> <image xlink:href="foo.png" .../> </svg>" If you had a DOCTYPE, the xmlns:xlink would be implied as is it defined as FIXED in the SVG 1.0 DTD.
