Can't import SVG paths from Illustrator (replace XML parser)

Description
Please describe the problem: I can't import paths in .svg format exported from Illustrator CS
I work on MAC OS X (10.3.7)
I use Gimp 2.2.3
I tried exporting RGB and CMYK, I also tried ISO8859, UTF8 and UTF16 encodings. It always fails.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a closed path in Illustrator and save it as .svg
- Try to import from Gimp 2.2.3
- Gimp fails to import it
Actual results: Gimp error message: "entity 'ns_svg' at line 7 unknown" or similar
Expected results: Import 1 or more (merged) paths
Does this happen every time? I downloaded some SVG samples. Sometimes Gimp import them correctly, some others it fails (i.e. "entity 'st4' unknown)
Other information: I believe Gimp should skip unnecesary information in .svg files
Thank you
Version: 2.2.x
