Maybe the experts will come up with a better explanation, but this is the expected behaviour: the SVG DTD doesn't define a myProperty attribute for the rect element, so Batik (correctly) refuses to allow you to set its value - however, you can declare new attributes for most SVG elements (see the SVG specs for details). The fact that Firefox et al don't barf, is probably that they don't validate the SVG, merely test it for well-formedness.
