What we are currently planning is that there will be a menu entitled "Effects" in Inkscape. This will probably start out small, but will hopefully grow to have lots of things that can be done in Inkscape.
Hmm, I'm not sure that is the best name for it, since it will include programs that e.g. perform semantic/syntactic (rather than strictly visual) changes as well.
One example might be a program that takes an SVG fragment, does a database lookup based on some of its attributes, and then adds some metadata from the result of the lookup to the SVG.
Well, we chose 'Effects' because 'Filters' is taken by SVG Filters. I think that we want to get something that is close to what people are familiar with. And, for the most part, I think there will probably be more that cause visual effects more than semantic/syntactic changes.
