No, this is out of the question. Our SVG must display the same everywhere.

(the feature i want just has to do with how the group is handled during interaction not with its display). ideally, i'd want to use something like <svg:g inkscape:variant="my special group">...</svg:g>

Yes, except that the correct attribute is sodipodi:type. That's how our offsets and many shapes are done, all using svg:path element. Register a new value for sodipodi:type in sp-object-repr.cpp. Use the inkscape: prefix for the value, as is done in

<path sodipodi:type="inkscape:offset" ... >

Then create a new corresponding SPGroup subclass.
