This can only be an extension of plain SVG, because SVG 1.1 has nothing like ballons.
I don't know SVG specification at all. And I really don't mind if this appears to me as extensions menu item.
(What is the relation between Function plotter, Embed all images, Fretboard designer etc. with name of their menu - "Effects"?)
Fine. But, first - there is an internal Inkscape .isvg format saved by default and second - there must be some way to make Inkscape recorganize it's own drawing elements afterwords. Perhaps that kind of object could carry it's own attribute or label or whatever-wont-prevent-browser-proper-rendering-of-the-same that Inkscape could catch on load and re-render with correct number of nodes (roundness, arrow length and position -- taking comic book balloon for example).
Also, I'm not sure that grouping only part of shapes (you didn't include rectangle and ellipse in that group) is a good idea.
It's better then adding new icon on that poor little toolbar (toolbox?). I'm having problem to fit this window on the screen (1024x768) already. Add there Stroke/fill dialog, plus swatches, plus Document properties for choosing snapping type...
That brings me back to thinking about Freehand drawing/Bezier curve tool merging. :) And spiral tool, how often do you use it?
Rectangle/square and Circle/ellipse/arc are more frequently used then all other tools for drawing (together). It is practical to have these separated.
