AIUI, changes were made to Batik to allow Flex-specific CSS properties
that do not follow the CSS standard.  My understanding is that vendor or
product-specific properties are supposed to be prefixed with things like
-mozilla or -webkit and thus Flex properties probably should have started
with -flex, but the Flex team decided to just add new properties without
any prefix.  I don't think we want to force existing Flex users to adopt
CSS-standard property naming, and I don't see how we could contribute
these changes back to Batik.  If I were on the Batik PMC, I wouldn't want
them.

So, I'm pretty sure something will break if we try to use an official
unmodified Batik release.  IMO, the question is whether there is a better
way to manage these modifications.
