Perhaps you'd just take advantage of XML's natural nesting capability,
and do something like...

<g>
  <metadata> <rdf> ... </rdf> </metadata>
  <circle ... />
  <rect ... />
  <text ... />
</g>

but I don't know what the rules are with metadata, and if multiple
<metadata> items per doc is allowed (I would assume it is).  Certainly
will introduce some complexities for our parsers...

*Nod*  Agreed - this will take care of 99% of the cases; the last 1%
will be more challenging.
