I always felt that svg, with multiple pages would be great as a replacement for other multi page layout formats (more secure than pdf, more easily manipulatable than doc), but I'm sure there are many implementation details of both of those formats that I am neglecting that are irreplaceable to the academic and business applications that may have special uses for them.
Inkscape's broader purpose is as a drawing program, so mixing both drawing and text document editing into a single application would muddle the interface and functionality.

hello
sorry if you already discussed this...
i was thinking about how to simulate pages with svg capabilities and
inkscape features. i am also in the need to create text forms that are
empty by default and don't shrink to the size of the input. i also
understand that svg has no rules to solve these problems and probably
never will, but...
is svg meant to solve higher order layout problems or is a tool like
inkscape wrong if it only bases on one svg document per document/file?
what would w3c say to this? do they think that multiple pages in a
document are to be defined as multiple svg documents in one xml
document? are text forms to be programmed with python or javascript or
should one integrate other standards like xhtml or xforms?
what do you think?
