Summary: fails to read file, should just ignore Adobe tags

Initial Comment:
Unfortunately I have to attach a 400k SVG file to show
you how to reproduce this bug -- I hope Sourceforge
will allow that, and that it won't cause problems.

This issue comes up when exporting Adobe Illustrator
files to Inkscape. When you save an AI file in SVG
format (in Illustrator CS), it gives you an option you
can check or uncheck, "Preserve Illustrator Editing
Capabilities." If you check the box, it produces an
extremely large SVG file with a whole bunch of tags in
it that look like this:

                <i:pgf  id="adobe_illustrator_pgf">
                        <![CDATA[                     
 eJzsvWuPJLeVIPoL4j/kfjBgY69rg48IksbFAJX1mPVM2xYsex4wBkaPVJJ73dUttFrj6/31l+fF
...

I assume these are undocumented tags that Adobe has
defined for their internal use in their proprietary
software, so of course I can't expect Inkscape to
understand them, do anything useful with them, or even
preserve them. But my understanding is that in an XML
file, the standard behavior for a parser is to ignore
any tags it doesn't understand. What actually happens
when I try to read the file in Inkscape is that it
comes up as a blank document. Inkscape is able to read
the file just fine when I create it with the Preserve
Illustrator Editing Capabilities option unchecked.

Shows OK in CVS version. The file only has a single white
rectangle.

All SVG files in that directory open and show OK in the CVS
version.
