Based on my concerns I've written a full report:
https://code.launchpad.net/~novalis/inkscape/fix-167335/+merge/190297/commen...
The branch is not a fix. Although it may be the start of one. I'd love to see the original developer or someone new pick up the code and attempt to fix this long standing blemish on Inkscape's svg output. It certainly needs to be done for 1.0 but I thought it'd be nice for 0.91 too :-)
Best Regards, Martin Owens

My concern is that I can open an old svg file with flowed text, I can save it, I can open it, I can edit it, I can save it again and have those changes track. That at each save the file was presentable to a web browser and librsvg.
That's what I'll be testing for.
