HowTo limit significant figures saved? I find the default eight, far too many.

This is the necessary minimum for shapes to not be distorted after save/reload even at the highest zoom. If however your needs are different, you can easily change that by recompiling Inkscape after editing line 14 in src/svg/stringstream.cpp. What do others think, might this be worth adding a hidden user preference?

I think that it would be useful. I think this is kinda what the icon guys have been asking for. Basically, a form of snapping. Though, I'm not sure just doing it when writing out the file is a good idea. I think, if we're going to do it, it should be throughout -- when dragging, resizing, etc.

Didnt bryce have some code that did something like this? or did that only strip out excess 0's?

I'd also recommend making this a per-document setting.
