Re: [Inkscape-devel] Attribute lock ratio proposal

I think you're trying to use the wrong tool. SVG is meant for scalable graphics that are not influenced by browser settings, with interactivity and animation. In fact its intent is to be like the animation components of Flash. If you want a resizable text box in an SVG document you should code it in JavaScript. Alternatively you can use HTML, which is designed for dynamic layout.

When it comes to the flowed text, it's not even an SVG feature but an Inkscape-specific hack that saves to a regular text element when saved as plain SVG.
