A pity that CSS is on by default.

We support 'style' attribute, but not yet stylesheets. CSS is embedded
too deep into SVG for any implementation to ignore it completely.
SVG 1.1 Recommendation uses CSS 'style' attribute in samples
throughout the text (not necessarily to illustrate CSS styling); and
W3C SVG test suite contains CSS constructs even in tests unrelated
to CSS proper. We would like not to implement CSS at all since
there is XSL; it looks however that we have no chance :-).

Because it can be done with a ten-line Perl script,
and I had the script at hand. No special meaning here.

When a graphic is put onto a page in XSL, it receives
a half-leading white space before and after the image
(because it is an inline element). When you insert
an A4-sized image on an A4 page, it does not fit.
This mistake is very common, and I suspect that Stefan
felt into the trap (otherwise XEP would have drawn
something - even without styling). That's why I felt
useful to remind about the necessity to scale the image.
