This is from the current README:
It does not yet handle following svg shapes: - circle
Is this right? The XML editor shows it a circle as "path", so I guess this is true. Is this a major missing feature?

It doesn't create circles as <circle>s but as <path>s. I haven't tested if it'll properly display SVG documents with <circle> elements - give it a try and see.

No one has ever mentioned it, and I don't think there's any RFE's for it. For SVG spec compliance, though, it'd seem sensible to have support for it. At the very least, Inkscape should be able to read in and display <circle> elements properly (I think it does...)

I don't know, but perhaphs it is due to the fact that sodipodi (hence inkscape) render a circle approximately as a path built from four bezier, while a circle cannot be represented by beziers.
