SVG 2 features is a huge project that needs to be broken down into smaller parts. SVG 2 compliant flowed text is a great start and has the advantage that there is a natural SVG 1.1 fallback. It will be an implementation challenge as one needs to understand the current text code.
I guess part my though with the SVG2 / Flowed Text project is that I considered a partial rewrite of some of the text code as something that would be needed to "do it right". For me, it would make sense to include that in the scope of this project since it is paid work on a very important part of the codebase.
Per Bryce's request, I'd be willing to start working on fleshing out a proposal for the SVG2 Text work... I will definitely need help refining it though. Either way, I think there has been enough discussion in the past for me to get together a good list of requirements. Tav, since you're the most familiar with the text code and proposed svg spec related to it, your input will be greatly helpful once I get to that point.
