sorry for not answering fast. When I developed this patch I was only an inkscape user with a special need and who didnt think of doing it using templates. If it is concensus that the patch is more confusing than helpful, I guess that it could be reverted and ignored.
The patch may not have turned into something really useful, but at least, it was this patch that gave me access to svn so that it enabled me to start working more actively on the filter effects.

Can someone please explain to me why we need 2 new pages in prefs for default metadata and license?
What's wrong with just changing the metadata and license in an empty document and saving it as a template?
Saving as a template is not obvious? OK, just make it more obvious. Add a "save template" command for example.
This solution is bad because it unnecessarily duplicates some very heavy pieces of UI, clutters the preferences, and generally makes the program look clunkier and less clean. It also utterly confuses the concepts of document preferences and program preferences, which should be kept as separate as possible.
