So, IMHO, changing the coordinate in the drawing canvas could be just an adjustment in the interface of the software. Internally, Inkscape could still work in its default coordinate system, until the "deep" changes can be made to keep the SVG file format according to the standard.
The irony is that the SVG standard uses upper-left as 0,0 in it's coordinate system. The inkscape devels chose to make bottom-left the GUI coordinate system, and convert everything in the XML file.
