I don't agree with who ever said, we should change import to place in the menu. Actually I think we should have import be the default and it should embed images. A setting should change this to place and then you link images.
Except that "import" in all other cases results in embedded data because all other cases result in inserting svg (whether from a .svg file or from a plugin.) Given this precedent and the definition of "import", I think there is a really good case for a "place" or "insert link to" command.
Hey Eric, you leave me wondering what you are trying to say... I think that import should embed and place should link but that you should only have either in the file menu and not both. Which one is displayed is an inkscape preference. I don't quite understand, where your comment contradicts with what I was trying to say.
