Perhaps you have some ideas on how this could be implemented in pre-2.0 SVG.
I've been working on symbols... I don't know if you're really going to be using clones/symbols <use> tags. But don't forget to resolve your objects when parsing.
If it were me, I'd simply prefix the id somehow. It sounds hackish at first but I don't think it is as it fits existing svg, provides a more precise identity which you can use to identify the elements in code.
This kind of meta-type is out of scope for svg itself and even for inkscape. If you were to do some attributes, then a wouldn't a separate namespace be the best way?
Layers and groups are designed for _editing_ a set of objects and allowing transforms on them. Since this isn't want you need, the group/layers in svg are not related to your PCB layers.
