Yes and no respectively. The calls to appendChild will modify 'doc' but the
SVGGraphics2D doesn't stream out 'doc', it builds it's own DOM tree that it
streams out (it uses the document you pass it as a factory for the elements in
the Dom tree it builds). You can get the tree it has written by calling
getRoot() see it's JavaDoc for more info.

As was mentioned already this should be 'createElementNS' with the SVG
namespace.

You probably want to append this to 'e'.
