2.) text inside a shape. I know NJH has this working and is prolly waiting for pango-ification. For design work this is HYPER necessary. Several of my artist/designer friends are waiting on Inkscape till this is implemented, as you can then actually layout writings. (to take this further, multiple pages of text would put us beyond illustrator and freehand!)
The problem is that the SVG spec provides an algorithm, so my algorithm is not actually useful here, despite being technically superior. I'm not supposed to be working on non-research stuff so someone else is going to have to implement text-in-shape. The important section is: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-SVG12-20040318/#flow
