SVG should consider supporting SVGs with missing xlink namespace

Unfortunately the Adobe SVG Plugin does not require the xmlns:xlink="..."
namespace definition (possibly due to confusion in the SVG 1.0 specification). 
This means that much of the content out there does not have the necessary xlink
namespace definition (and is thus invalid XML).  We should probably do the same
to be compatible with existing SVGs.

It's unfortunate, but is likely the best course of action.

It would be great if when bug 10361 is resolved we could also report these xml
errors to the error console silently.
