Hi Norm,
there is a bug in RELAX NG schema. Wildcard patterns for db._any.svg
(and mml too) allow only one child element inside SVG/MathML root
element (svg:svg or mml:math respectively) which is wrong.
I didn't fixed it in CVS, DocBook schemas are your toys. ;-)

Hello,
I've found a problem in DocBook 5.0b1's docbook.rng. (If there is a
mailing list where I need to send this, just tell me.)
---
<div>
<define name="db._any.svg">
<element>
<a:documentation>Any element from the SVG
namespace</a:documentation>
<nsName ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
<ref name="db._any"/>
</element>
</define>
</div>
---
where:
---
<define name="db._any">
<element>
<a:documentation>Any element from any namespace except the
DocBook namespace</a:documentation>
<anyName>
<except>
<nsName/>
<nsName ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>
</except>
</anyName>
<zeroOrMore>
<choice>
<attribute>
<anyName/>
</attribute>
<text/>
<ref name="db._any"/>
</choice>
</zeroOrMore>
</element>
</define>
---
Also note that db._any.mml may have the same problem as db._any.svg
I'm not a RELAX NG expert, but James Clark's Jing is really not happy
when I insert any svg:svg graphics in an imageobject.
In my opinion, Jing is right and the problem comes from here:
---
<nsName ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
<ref name="db._any"/> <---- This is an element, hence
svg:svg can only contain a
*single* child element!
---
I've rewritten db._any.svg (and db._any.mml) as follows (this is just a
quick and dirty fix):
---
<define name="db._any.svg">
<element>
<a:documentation>Any element from the SVG
namespace</a:documentation>
<nsName ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
<zeroOrMore>
<choice>
<attribute>
<anyName/>
</attribute>
<text/>
<ref name="db._any"/>
</choice>
</zeroOrMore>
</element>
</define>
