not really an XML Mind question, since the same code is also rejected by

there’s a workaround for what looks like an svg problem: I have a
handwritten SVG test diagram (one of quite a lot I would like to use in
XML Mind/DITA) where a symbol is defined once in the <defs> and then
called in many place with <use>
Illustrator opens the graphic without complaining, but Mozilla and XML
Mind object; XML Mind says
The prefix “xlink” for attribute “xlink:href” associated with an element
type “use” is not bound.
As far as I understand, this must be because <use> is being seen as an
element rather than an instruction.
No. It's simple than this. See below.
<svg width="540" height="720" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
<defs>
<g id="boxes">
<rect id="lightBox1" x="3" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="none" stroke="#ddd"/>
<rect id="lightBox2" x="144" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="none" stroke="#ddd"/>
<rect id="lightBox3" x="288" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="none" stroke="#ddd"/>
<rect id="greyBox1" x="3" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="#eee" stroke="#ddd"/>
<rect id="greyBox2" x="144" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="#eee" stroke="#ddd"/>
<rect id="greyBox3" x="288" y="0" height="17" width="108"
stroke-weight="0.25px" fill="#eee" stroke="#ddd"/>
</g>
</defs>
<!-- boxes: y offset increments by 18 -->
<!-- col 1 top -->
<use y="0" xlink:href="#lightBox1" />
<use y="16" xlink:href="#greyBox1" />
<use y="34" xlink:href="#lightBox1" />
<use y="52" xlink:href="#lightBox1" />
<use y="70" xlink:href="#lightBox1" />
<use y="88" xlink:href="#lightBox1" />
</svg>
The above SVG is simply non-well-formed XML. It cannot be parsed
successfully by any XML consumer.
To fix the problem, simply change first line from:
---
<svg width="540" height="720" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
---
to:
---
<svg width="540" height="720" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
---
That is, properly declare the "xlink" prefix.
