hi,

as mentionned in the dtd :

For SVG 1.0:

Namespace:

SVG namespace

http://www.w3.org/2000/svg

<!ATTLIST svg
xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

svg is in a namespace

your xslt has not been designed to match svg elements, but can only
match an element called "svg" not bound to the svg uri

you *must* defined a prefix to use qualified names in xslt :

this will work :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:svg="http ://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
Found Root

<xsl:apply-templates select="svg:svg " />

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="svg:svg" >
Found SVG
</xsl:template>

remember that unprefixed attributes are not bound to any namespace, so
use xpath expressions like this :
/svg:svg/svg:style/@type
instead of :
/svg:svg/svg:style/@svg:type
