It seems that SAXSVGDocumentFactory requires

Yes.
In my real application, I will be using a class that is not an XMLReader and is not as controllable. In particular, I can't control if the class reports xmlns:* attributes (and I can't blame it for that, since SAX only requires readers to be able to set namespace-prefixes to false).
Is there a way to make the SVG factory work when namespace-prefixes is false?
You would have to rewrite parts of it (I don't think it would be hard, in fact if you were willing to trust the URI passed into start element it would simplify things a fair amount).
The real question is why doesn't it trust the existing URI? My suspicion is so Batik can control the 'default' namespace for SVG documents that don't provide any xmlns attributes.
