That's not a problem. Namespace names are only compared for equality, 
they are never dereferenced.


The problem is that the SVG file in question uses both DTD and 
namespaces, which are known not to play well together. (There might an 
libxml2 bug involved here too, I'm not sure.)

Anywhere, here's how to fix the SVG:

1) apt-get install libxml2-utils sgml-data
2) xmllint --noent openlogo.svg > openlogo-fixed.svg
(Yes it's "noent", not to be confused with "nonet".)
3) Optionally, remove the DTD declaration from the resulting file.
