1. use our own inkscape:href (or something like that) attribute instead

of xlink:href for linked offsets -- SVG does not define xlink:href to have meaning for <path> elements.

Yes

2. populate the d= attribute of the SPOffset <path> with the offset

path, so the SVG requirements are satisfied, and normal SVG UAs have something to render.

Doesn't it do that already?

[ a ground rule here is that an Inkscape document should look no different in a pure SVG UA than in Inkscape -- at minimum, when in doubt, check how it looks in Batik ]

Yes

3. All of the SPOffset extension attributes need to be in the inkscape

namespace, not the sodipodi namespace (e.g. inkscape:original, not sodipodi:original). The sodipodi namespace is reserved for Sodipodi's use. This holds true for all new functionality we add.

Yes, I wrote about that

As interoperability and standards-compliance are core goals for us, I can't sign off on an 0.37 release until these are fixed.

But I think they are really easy to fix :)
