Louis,

Two things. First, your template isn't matching since you don't have the namespaces lined up.

Try writing your template like so:

<xsl:template match='svg:svg' xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  ...
</xsl:template>

(Even better would be to put that namespace declaration up at the top of the transform, with the others in the xsl:stylesheet start tag.)

This way, your template will actually match the element in your source.

Second: change your xsl:value-of (which says copy the string value of the node to output) to xsl:copy-of (not xsl:copy). xsl:copy-of makes a copy of the node (what's called a "deep copy", with all attributes, descendants etc. intact).

I hope that helps,
Wendell

The XSL looks like:

<xsl:template match='svg'>
     <fo:block space-before.optimum="2pt" space-after.optimum="2pt">
     TEST
          <fo:instream-foreign-object>
               <xsl:value-of select="."/>
<!--<xsl:copy/>--><!--also tried this-->
          </fo:instream-foreign-object>
     </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
