Er, what? This doesn't match what Inkscape does at all.

http://www.monticello21st.com/glyphica/GlySymList.svg loads fine in both Inkscape and Firefox because there are no linked files. http://www.monticello21st.com/glyphica/GlyGrpList.svg displays just fine in Firefox, but displays an empy box on loading in Inkscape. The only syntactical difference between the two files is that the second uses linked files and first doesn't.

I have no need to use Inkscape's built-in XML editor as the link data is already included in the files I'm trying to convert.
