Duplicate of Bug #499257 (saves svg file, that it can't read afterwards)?
Very likely an issue with Inkscape, not Scour.

plain inkscpae SVG export seems fine, but file is afterward not renderable anymore

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Also reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.1, Scour r171 (same lxml error messages).

If you remove the xpacket declaration (line 32 in the original file), the file is correctly exported to inkscape, plain and scoured SVG.

I don't know if it's possible to do something in Scour, but there's definitely a bug in Inkscape's SVG exports.

who should forward this bug to inkscpae?

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

No need to forward. I've just marked it as duplicate of bug #499257.
