Given the importance of the OpenDocument standard and how they are essentially using their XML namespaces to fill out gaps not covered by SVG might it be better to include their namespaces rather than adding any more to the Inkscape (or Sodipodi) namespace?
Before going into this more, you should look over how they're doing things in more detail.
They were actually more of using other namespaces mixed together willy-nilly to retool their existing OpenOffice format. They were initialy very far from SVG compliant, I believe they have improved things somewhat, but not in the "we're trying to be standard" kinda way, but more in a "here are our internal guts, let's tag them with familiar sounding names" way.
Skimming the list's archive might give you a bit of a jumping off point to look from.
