There are two problems I found, first (and I don't really know if
this is right or not) but Batik doesn't like the START comment before
the <?xml version="1.0"?>.
Second you have a bunch of supurious semi-colons in your DOCTYPE and
svg elements (apparently after each namespace). The following header
allowed me to
view the document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd";>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
width="427.713"
