oh, I thought perhaps you might have set the attribute on the whole image (by accident) - which is not the case since batik and illustrator both showing your image

Correct. I had a square that I had used to align the number in the original image I'd worked up in Illustrator. It had opacity="0", which Batik observes but XEP doesn't, so in XEP that translucent square wasn't translucent. I just removed it since it was cruft anyway. The takeaway is that if you make something translucent in Illustrator and use the svg in an XEP-rendered pdf, the translucent elements won't be translucent in the pdf, tho the'll look fine in the rasterized versions of the image. I think I'd run across that before and forgot about it.
