[xep-support] Re: Spurious validation errors for Oxygen topic.fo files

Thanks for this.

Some progress -- I can now get results by rinning xep from the command line, but:
-- svg graphics which previously rendered happily to pdf now don't; and
-- I'll have to figure out from Syncrosoft why inserting "-valid" into Oxygen's call to XEP (through the command string in Oxygen preferences) doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
