Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the linked Ketcher environment with the attached ket file, then inspect the SVG export path for the missing xlink namespace reported in the browser. Compare SVG output for documents with and without sequences; the work is done when saved SVG documents with sequences open without errors and retain their sequences.
