Hi! I would like to introduce myself to the list and provide a patch for review. I'm novalis_dt on Sourceforge. I know Bryce from when he worked on the Worldforge project. I have recently started using Inkscape -- I'm not much of an artist, but I redid the front page of my website with Inkscape.
Welcome aboard Novalis, good to see you again. :-)
When I wrote the first version of this patch, I didn't understand the SPObject tree. I think I do now. I'm somewhat baffled that there's no sp_object_get_child_by_tagName function already -- am I just missing it? If not, it probably belongs in sp-object.cpp, but I didn't want to put it there prematurely.
By the way, one of the challenges for us has been that the codebase we started from was largely undocumented, so we try to encourage everyone to document (in Doxygen format) where they spot deficiencies. Sounds like you found one. ;-)
