My idea is to say in the XPI "this script uses the Inkscape DOM" and the inkscape will talk with the script all the time, allowing this to use the inkscape like the user does...
The Inkscape must listen the commands from the script output and write an feedback in a pipefile for the script know what happens.
I think that would be interesting. The problem here, mostly, is that we don't have the DOM completed. Otherwise I think it could be feasible. The trickiest part will just be handling all the scheduling. Currently Inkscape hands over execution to the script, so it is blocking. We'd have to have some sort of threading to make sure that Inkscape could respond to the DOM commands sent through the pipe.
