I don't know the inner workings of IE7 or ASV, but conceptually,
I don't see why stylesheet information could not be passed on to
plugins.

Fiddling a lot, I finally succeeded in placing a stylesheet in
the svg:
<svg:svg ...>...
<svg:defs>
<svg:style type='text/css'>
rect { fill: red }
</svg:style>
</svg:defs>
...
</svg:svg>
This worked. However, experimenting I came across numerous
variations that strangely did not work:
* removing the <?xml-stylesheet ...?> processing tag at the
top of the XHTML document would break IE7+ASV
* enclosing the stylesheet in <![CDATA[ ... ]]> would break
IE7+ASV. How do we then insert a stylesheet using '>'
selectors and still produce XML?
* rect.X in the stylesheet would not work in IE7+ASV for
rect tags with class="X", nor would rect[class="X"]. However,
rect[cls="X"] would work for rect tags with cls="X", and
rect#1234 would work for rect tags with id="1234" !?!

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. I tried briefly
using @import "http://..."; in the inlined stylesheet, but that
did not seem to work for me.

This would really be nice. As it is now, you cannot change a
style option in a centrally located style file (and I guess the
user cannot set his own style file to override styling).

I could not agree more! Please convince the vast number of IE
users to act on this fact. ;-)

I would like to avoid this, as I am using online generated XHTML
documents and would like to inline to avoid caching issues etc.
But thanks for all your help! Now I have a somewhat working
solution for Inferior Explorer 7.
