[xep-support] Support for SVG exported from Visio 2003

Jirka,

I am not aware of any problem with either text or fill in XEP 3.7.5. There
were problems with text positioning in 3.7.6, corrected in 3.7.7; in any case,
I'd recommend to retry with the latest maintenance release.

Alien namespace elements are ignored by XEP. If SVG elements are _wrapped_ 
into Visio elements as containers, than they will be skipped; however, if they 
stay side-by-side, Visio additions should make no harm. It is easy to check:
just filter your SVG through an XSLT stylesheet, leaving only elements
in SVG namespace and discarding ailen elements with their entire contents.
Does it change anything?

Yes, please send the file to support at renderx.com; we will gladly examine it.
