Pretty disappointing coming from a standards body.  I did manage to find 
this, but I don't think the SVG committee got that memo.

  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-notation

Parse::EBNF appears to be working after a slight patching to the 
rule-naming assumption from qr/[A-Z][a-zA-Z]*/ to qr/[a-zA-Z-_]+/  

Whee!  Now I'll see if it does me any good.  Guess I've got to feed it 
to Lex or Parse::Lex or something now.

Thanks,
Eric
