This creates a 'rect' element in the no name namespace.
I think you want to use createElementNS with the SVG Namespace.
If you are using a Batik SVGDocument then this will return an
SVGRectElement. Make sure you read about booting the CSS and
SVG DOM on the Wiki, otherwise some of the more advanced SVG
methods won't work (also the element needs to be part of the SVG
tree for some of those methods to work).
