OK. Guessing then it ignores
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html       ;
charset=utf-8" />

Which is fine for a trivial SVG file, but with a few hundred/thousand
lines of SVG (or mathml) it all gets a bit messy and could benefit
from an import/include, which is what i'm looking for?
Inlined SVG works (as it does now, using a transform to include it)
but I can't have a tidy source file. 

-1 to html5 then.

Thanks Martin.
