When viewing an epub with SVG illustrations in ADE Desktop v. 2 and 3 and on Sony PRS-T1, paths rendered with <symbol> and <use> tags are not shown. The SVG validates properly with the W3C validator. Anybody know of the problem, and a workaround that doesn't imply a bloated SVG file?

EDIT:
I haven't seen it documented anywhere, but it seems ADE does not support <symbol>!
The workaround is to use <g> instead of <symbol>, and in the corresponding <use> tags use transform="translate(...)" instead of x=... y=...
