These same options would be useful in the export dialog as well. I currently use mogrify to convert inkscape pngs to jpegs... i've been doing this for years and I hate it. There is nothing better about doing it this way, or via extension, from the user perspective. I hate it each and every time Inkscape forces me to do it, and I dislike *even more* having to install extensions to do it. :) It's embarassing having to explain to new users that they can not export to this common, efficient and universally supported file format. It adds to the "half-baked" feeling mentioned earlier... by one of our proponents/fans. :)
My (limited?) understanding is that there isn't much ideology behind this. It's just noone actually sat down to hook up libjpeg and libtiff to Inkscape and patch the dialog.
