Well, I made a small and simple site and will monitor it to see if/how is indexed: http://svg.nicubunu.ro
That's an interesting experiment.
One significant deficiency of the current Inkscape is evident in your webpage: if I were to use Inkscape to author a collection of webpages, I would want two more features:
1. better support for <style> blocks and external stylesheets. Putting all the styles inline is just what many people have been trying to educate HTML authors /not/ to do. Doing just that with SVG is, shall we say, less than ideal. Unfortunately, current Roadmap (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap) doesn't include improving CSS support, which suggests that the developers are not very interested in producing SVG for the Web at the moment. :( [Further discussion - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CSS_Support]]
2. support for mixed namespace XML, in particular XHTML+SVG+MathML, which is a really good way to get the best of both HTML and SVG worlds. (I have humbly to confess I've never used MathML yet!). I think Inkscape could do this by being namespace-aware and editing SVG fragments within XHTML in-place, leaving the XHTML (/MathML) untouched. Inkscape would have to pay attention to external and internal CSS settings in the XHTML namespace, as well as within the SVG namespace. I guess this is a long way off yet. However, it would be sensible for the underlying architecture to be steered so that namespace support is easy to add later.
