Actually, Donn Ingle is proposing that Inkscape no longer produce SVG, so he is
proposing that many existing use cases will be thrown out.
I am not so proposing.
Here it is:
SVG appears to be dying. Assuming this is so, I propose to continue SVG within the Inkscape community (at least) *and* take the chance to update Inkscape (at least) so that its many design holes are filled.
This new SVG would in no way break the older standard, however this is achieved.
