dissecting an svgdocument & loading svg in mixed namespaces

[Stephen George]

Hi, got some questions about how to do a few tricks in Batik.  The 
questions are similar, but not the same as the "dom of embed svg image" 
thread the past week.

Ok , using Batik, I'm able to load an SVG Document into a canvas - no sweat.
But now I want to get a little greedy with two curveballs:
 1. I have a number of svg images that I create in one svg document.  I 
want to load all of these svg images in one doucment, and later access 
each individual image, so I can present them as isolated images in my 
gui.  I could just put each one of these svg images in individual svg 
files, but like I said... I'm greedy.
 2. Second, I want to keep these svg images in a xml document who's 
root node is not <svg>.  I.e., I want to define different objects with 
certain properties, one of which being it's svg image.  Batik does not 
seem to appreciate those types of formats when I attempt to load them.

Here are some sample xml files that I've been attempting to embed svg in 
and read from Batik...

caused a load error:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<Lib:inkwirelogiclibrary 
xmlns:Lib="http://tablab.cs.uic.edu/~tablab/inkwire/xml/logiclibrary";
  xmlns:SVG="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";>
<Lib:gatetype name="AND">
	<SVG:svg width="300" height="300">
	<SVG:line x1="0" y1="0" x2="300" y2="300" />
	</SVG:svg>
</Lib:gatetype>
<Lib:gatetype name="OR">
	<SVG:svg width="300" height="300">
	<SVG:line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="200" />
	</SVG:svg>
</Lib:gatetype>
</Lib:inkwirelogiclibrary>

works, but shows an empty document:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20000303 Stylable//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
<SVG:svg width="500" height="300"
  xmlns:Lib="http://tablab.cs.uic.edu/~tablab/inkwire/xml/logiclibrary";
  xmlns:SVG="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
<Lib:inkwirelogiclibrary >
<Lib:gatetype name="AND">
	<SVG:line x1="0" y1="0" x2="300" y2="300" 
style="stroke:rgb(0,99,99);stroke-width:2"/>
</Lib:gatetype>
<Lib:gatetype name="OR">
	<SVG:line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="200" 
style="stroke:rgb(99,99,99);stroke-width:2"/>
</Lib:gate
</Lib:inkwirelogiclibrary>
</SVG:svg>

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
