Many SVGs are invalid XML, all should be validated on submission

I have discovered while writing Safari+SVG, that many of the SVG files on OpenClipart.org are in fact 
invalid xml.  Two recent examples come to mind:

http://www.openclipart.org/incoming/jerusalem_cross_with_cr_01.svg

<?xml version="1" standalone="no"?> is invalid, only 1.0 and 1.1 are allowed.

As well as openclipart's own logo:

http://www.openclipart.org/logo/openclipartlibrary-logo-only-5colors.svg

the prefix "rdf" is never defined yet it's used.

My suggestion would be that the submission script should use either libTidy or validator.w3c.org to 
check every svg before allowing an author to submit.
