SVG fonts also could provide stroked glyphs and a lot of other interesting things. I hope their support will not be removed from Inkscape !

Yes, I know :)
I thought of power stroke and pattern-along-path as an
Inkscape-specific vector effect that resides inside a switch, along
with its output (svg:path). I think the switch mechanism will be
needed anyway, because even the standard effects could use fallbacks
to show correctly in SVG 1.1 viewers.

That is somewhat lame. I get the rationale, but SVG Fonts offer
possibilities that are not provided by normal TrueType fonts (which
WOFF essentially is), for example colored glyphs. I hope they
eventually will get implemented in FF.
