Yes that would make sense as default, but there should still be a key for producing duplicates instead of clones (like when you want to copy a draft that you want to change in different ways)
Yes.
Is this behavior optional? I could think of many use cases where one only wants the shape to be in sync, not the placement.
It's not optional in SVG, but we can try to work around that. I will look into it.
But maybe a user could put the originals on a special layer that is locked and invisible and thus have the same functionality?
That would prevent you from changing the original's shape too. SVG has no provisions for linking shape and not linking position.

Yes, but one could always unlock the layer if one wants to change the shape.

Aha, thx.

Well, the one thing you could do would be to place the original inside a group, and have subsequent transformations operate upon that group.
That would essentially be a "symbol" then, however.
