   It is 100% certain that you can't have one document with
two attached GVT tree's - which I think you would need to do
with your current approach.  The actual DOM infoset shouldn't
be modified but internally we attach additional structures to
handle the CSS & SVG DOMs.  Also some items (particularly in
the SVG DOM) may be lazily constructed (so the two threads might
collide when 'reading' those items).

   Once again no attempt was made to make the CSS Engine thread safe, it
might be thread safe for some set of operations but I can't give any kind
of guidelines.  Of course you must attach the CSS Engine otherwise the 
CSS DOM (which we use to render the document) won't be available.

   In Batik it is 100% required that people access DOM/CSS/GVT through 
one thread.

   The only thing that might work would be to attach the CSSEngine once
and build the GVT tree once and keep that in the cache.  But even with
that the GVT tree may well not support multiple concurrent renderings
(although for a static document it should come close).
