One problem with importing Inkscape SVG's into OO is that Inkscape SVG's are not standard SVG's.
Yes they are. All standard-conforming SVG renderers show them exactly as they are in Inkscape; if they do not, it's a bug and we fix it (usually quite fast).
To elaborate, the "Save as plain SVG" function doesn't make the SVG "more standard", rather it strips out otherwise valid SVG content from your files that sometimes cause problems in other programs which are less standards conformant than Inkscape.
For example, some programs choke on XML comments, others are unable to handle SVG metadata, etc.
Usually if you find a case where a program cannot take regular Inkscape SVG, but can take the plain SVG, it often just indicates that other program is incomplete in its support for SVG.
