Comment:

 The problem is here that SSAX imports srfi-1. Re-definition of imported
 bindings causes the original binding to be changed (global `define` is
 mostly equivalent to `set!`). The compiler will issue a warning about this
 (and does so for SSAX).

 This is arguably a bug in SSAX (or in the port). An option would be to
 disallow re-definition of imported bindings in general.
