Hi,
This is indeed inside of a book->info element...so a question remains as to the
proper way to rearrange this.
In answer to other questions, all permissions and access are 100% verified
correct. It appears suppression of mediaobject inside of book->info is the
cause.
The particular SVG image is the logo for the Creative Commons BY-SA License,
and the license is inside of the book->info block...perhaps this is not the
correct place for the license. Typically the logo would be shown along with the
written text of the license, it is a sort of "branding" for the license (there
are several variants on the license, this image helps to quickly identify this
variant of the license).
It seems that this is a case of where it would be welcomed to have validation
fail for mediaobject inside of book->info block, instead of ignoring the
mediaobject without saying why. In fairness, I do see a "minor" note from my
reference material on docbook5 saying:
"Suppressed. Many of the elements in this wrapper may be used in presentation,
but they are not generally printed as part of the formatting of the wrapper.
The wrapper merely serves to identify where they occur."
My source of information on this tag is from here:
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/book.html
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/titleforbidden.info.html
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/mediaobject.html
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/imagedata.html
http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/imagedata.svg.html
The reason I call it a "minor" note is that there is no way from the
documentation to predict which parts of the info will be suppressed...the
license text itself is being printed, so it seems reasonable that the license
logo would go with the text.
Is there a different recommendation on where a book should place copyright? Is
the info tag the wrong place for this? It's unclear where the license should be
if not in info.
Thanks!

Hi,I can't quite tell from your example, but is that mediaobject inside the
book's info element? If so, then that's why it isn't showing up. By default,
the stylesheet only outputs certain elements from the book info element, and
mediaobject isn't one of them. Titlepages are generally individualistic,
meaning they need some customization to match the author's expectations, so the
stylesheets provide a mechanism to easily customize the titlepages. Let me know
if that's the issue here.
As a test to see if the SVG itself is working, you could copy and paste the
mediaobject element into a section, where it will be acted upon and should work.
