The first suggestion worked (haven't tried the second yet); thanks. Having
said that, this leaves me to believe the following:
1) An external SVG document, applied using either setURI() or
setSVGDocument(), "knows" what this base URL is (even when not specified in
the file)
2) A code-created SVG document does not "know" what the base URL unless told
3) Either:
a) the URL passed into setURLObject() is a "meta-attribute"; part of the
internal Batik data structures, but not part of the tree itself, or
b) if it is part of the tree, the PrettyPrinter does not display it, or
c) I have no idea what I'm talking about
Am I correct on any or all of these?
