Description

Batik's DOM implementation doesn't seem to support replacing the top level <svg>
node in a document. I've tried two methods:
(a) using replaceChild()
(b) using removeChild(), then appendChild()

When I try to do this, the image just disappears (goes blank).

I'll attach a test Java program that demonstrates the problem.
