Same here. I do think your proposed bitmap solution is a good way to work around the problem of other SVG renderers (first thing that popped into my head too). As much as we all love SVG and standards, SVG evolves slowly. I'd argue that we should focus on making our program more standards compliant before we start pushing beyond the current standard, however, someone had a creative itch to scratch and they did (and will probably continue to if we support them).
OK, so the consensus for this patch seems to be: thanks, but please rework it so it uses svg:switch and provides automatic bitmap rendering (with adjustable resolution!) in the non-Inkscape branch upon saving the document. If this works well we can then reuse the same framework for implementing other non-SVG features as well, such as gradient meshes, so please try to code this as kind of object to be as universal as possible.
