Unable to output DOM document into SVG/XML format

I am attempting to output the contents of a DOM Tree in XML format to
System.out using the SVGGraphics2D class.  Essentially, I want to be able
to see what tags I am creating as I perform calls to appendChild(), but
when I execute the code below, I don't see "Hello World" or <text> as I
expect to see.  Are the calls to appendChild() supposed to change the
Document object named doc so the changes will be reflected in the streamed
out SVG?

        String svgNS = SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI;
        DOMImplementation impl =
SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation();
        Document doc = impl.createDocument(svgNS, "svg", null);

        Element svgRoot = doc.getDocumentElement();

        Element e = doc.createElement("text");
        svgRoot.appendChild(e);

        Text t = doc.createTextNode("Hello World");

        svgRoot.appendChild(t);

        // Create an instance of the SVG Generator.
        SVGGraphics2D svgGenerator = new SVGGraphics2D(doc);
        try{


            // Finally, stream out SVG to the standard output using
            // UTF-8 encoding.
            boolean useCSS = true; // we want to use CSS style attributes
            Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "UTF-8");
            svgGenerator.stream(out, useCSS);
        }
        catch(Exception exc) {

            System.out.println(exc+"");
        }


This is the OUTPUT I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
