I haven't followed this discussion, but one thing that bugs me is that the menu is called Effects, even though it provides access to what we call Extensions, and even though SVG has "effects" of its own. Do you think we should rename the menu to Extensions?

It is called Effects, because it provides access to the Extensions we call Effects. Effects act as a filter and change the document. There are also input and output Extensions that appear in the File Open and Save dialogs rather than this menu.
