So again, the Inkscape file versioning discussion pops up. I think it would be good to have a proper "upgrading" system in place, that converts any old-style stuff to new-style before fully loading a file, because we are likely to run into this again and again. And of course, notify the user of it all.
Agreed. If I'm not mistaken, we need to have an upgrading mechanism in place because we will at least run into it for the conversion of 3d boxes as well and possibly grids too (I am unaware of how they're written to the doc wrt setting the origin), obviously we'll have other needs down the road as well. A key thing is we will need to send out a warning to the devel & user list prior to committing to trunk so people have a heads up (if they work between nightly/trunk builds and stable builds, not having surprises is good).
