Looking in the source svg file i DID find the following:

<DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">

As I expected (except for the need for "!" after "<").

Am i going to have to strip out these lines from the source svg files, or is there some way to get the xslt to disregard them?

You can leave the files untouched and get Saxon to disregard the W3C web site by supplying Saxon with an XML catalogue that redirects the W3 URI with a URI pointing to a copy of the DTD in your local system.

I've mocked up a working example below based on slides I use in my XSLT training.

I hope this helps.

p.s. on my system the plain invocation *eventually* works without fail ... there is just a long delay on the W3C web site for this file, it isn't prohibited access; adding the catalogue makes it instantaneous
