Normally DocBook has a context-sensitive Edit popup menu. This popup
menu is special if you click on an svg:svg element.
I've sacrificied this feature for the sake of making what follows
simpler to understand.

To test this, simply copy attached file to
<XXE_user_preferences_dir>/config/ (<XXE_user_preferences_dir> is
C:\Document and Settings\<user>\xxe2\ on Windows and ~/.xxe2/ on Unix).
