This is a FAQ.  The name of the element is a complex object with a
namespace and a local name.

With <svg width="1000px" height="800px" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>, the element’s name is
{http://www.w3.org/2000/svg}svg.  With <svg width="1000px"
height="800px" version="1.1">, the element’s name is {}svg.  These are
NOT THE SAME, and XSLT that works to transform one will not transform
the other.  You may as well ask why changing <svg> to <gvs> does not work.
