If we never achieve full 1.1 support I think I'll shoot myself. Seriously, if we are limiting ourselves to the SVG standard, yet no one is pushing to achieve it, what is the point of that limitation?
I think that's a non sequitur. We limit ourselves to SVG so that other programs might use drawings made with Inkscape. Even a program that can only output paths is useful - the goal of complying with SVG is not eventually supporting the entirety of it, but being compatible with other SVG programs. Support for the entire SVG 1.1 specification is important if we want to use Inkscape to edit files created with other applications, but it doesn't affect the utility of Inkscape as a content creation program.
A nice step towards SVG 1.1 compliance would be to put the rendering tests in the trunk and integrate them with 'make check' (or 'waf check', shortly). And fixing the unit tests so that they don't fail.
