There is no standard solution to change the DTD from DOM2, and nothing more
in Batik.

You have 2 solutions:
- generate your files directly with a Writer and manage the entities by
hand,
- use CSS.
A styled version of your document could looks like this:
<style type="text/css"><![CDATA[
.st1 { /* your style 1 here */ }
.st2 { /* your style 2 here */ }
]]></style>
<!-- or import a stylesheet you can share:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"?>
-->
<rect class="st1" x="10" y="20" width="30" height="40"/>
<rect class="st2" x="50" y="60" width="70" height="80"/>
