Inkscape has as a stated goal conforming closely to the SVG specificiation but inlcudes a whole lot of information in the Sodipodi and Inkscape namespace.
Closely conforming would imply using the SVG specification where possible as opposed to Sodipodi using it only when convenient.
All "plain" should do is remove the editing-oriented payload.
So is the metadata editing-oriented?
the tracker request to remove the sodipodi:docbase attribute https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1326232&gr...
As I said earlier I also wonder what else is actually needed, some of the Sodipodi namedview stuff seems like it could be expressed using a standard SVG viewBox.
Cascading style sheets had me wondering if a Layer could be expressed as a class of groups? Something like: <group id="Layer_1" class="layer"></group>
I suppose there are more creative ways to avoid using custom markup but I was hoping people might have a better idea of why the sodipodi or inkscape markup seemed necessary before I try and get rid of it.
