One thing I'd like to address for the 0.45 release cycle is finally flipping Inkscape's coordinate system to match the SVG specification.
How about the opposite? ie SVG offering an option to go bottom left up. In fact bottom up coordinates is the only thing I liked about working in OpenGL pre SVG. When we draw a house, we don't draw the floor on top and the roof on bottom. This is especially true for coordinates in mapping which SVG is so well suited for. Likewise bottom up coordinates really help when programming DOM stuff for dynamic SVG images. So whatever it's worth, I'm in favor of keeping Inkscape's current system, especially as Inkscape works toward animation (and maybe 3D) and doing what we can to to get a bottom left option into SVG specs.
