Most importantly, where did the id= field go? We must keep a way to edit id, even if we add more stuff to this dialog.
One of the tasks mental put into the roadmap was to remove the id= field. Perhaps he can explain the reasoning.
I'm against removing it. It may be true that it's bad to use id for anything except refs, but the fact is that they _are_ used for lots of things both in Inkscape and elsewhere. We must retain a way to edit it.
I agree; maybe the goal was to provide another way to edit it (besides the xml editor).
Heh. Adding the ID field was my very first contribution to Inkscape. The reason then was the same as now: apps external to the SVG file need to be able to reference objects in the DOM tree. I use this field every day at work. Scripting will need this, too.
