Converting SVG to Xaml

It seemed to me that it makes no sense to be required to convert svg files in tools like that from the folk at http://www.wpf-graphics.com/ in order to import them directly into a wpf App. Now they do have a library that you can call but it isn't exactly open. I say the same comments from Jon Galloway from almost a year ago. Fortunately one of the commenter's on Jon's post provided a link to a xslt file that would convert between the two. From there is is a simple xslt transform away. I did end up with one catch. the xslt that was posted used another external file [color.xml] to do color mapping.

     
static System.Windows.UIElement LoadFromSVG(string fileUri)
     {
         // Create a transform
         System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform processor
            = new System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform();

         // Creates a resolver
         System.Xml.XmlResolver resolver
            = new System.Xml.XmlUrlResolver();

         // load the transform into  the processor
         System.Xml.XmlReader reader
            = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader("svg2xaml.xsl");
         processor.Load(
            reader,
            new System.Xml.Xsl.XsltSettings(true, true),
            resolver);

         // get the source file
         System.Xml.XmlReader sourceXml
            = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(fileUri);

         // get the results of the transform
         StringWriter xamlFile = new StringWriter();
         System.Xml.Xsl.XsltSettings.Default.EnableDocumentFunction
            = true;
         processor.Transform(
            sourceXml,
            null,
            new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(xamlFile),
            resolver);

         return System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(
             new XmlTextReader(
                new StringReader(xamlFile.ToString()))) 
         as System.Windows.UIElement;
     }
