[Clipart] second opinion on some files

[Roan Horning]

The mozilla rendering engine is very particular when it comes to xml 
files. It appears that it needs the

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

attribute in the svg tag--which tells it to use the svg namespace--to 
know how to render the file. SVG files without that attribute causes the

This XML file does not appear to have any style information
associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

message to be generated in mozilla based browsers. I downloaded two of 
these files and added the above attribute. They then rendered fine in 
Epiphany 2.14.3 and Firefox 2.0.0.14.

I looked at the spec. for svg 1.1, but I couldn't tell if that attribute 
is required to be a valid svg file. I don't think it is required, but it 
would be nice if this was fixed for these files. Opening them in 
Inkscape and doing a save as will fix the problem, or just opening the 
files in a text editor and adding the namespace attribute manually.
