So when you prepare your areas as explained in my comment there, perhaps all we need to add is an "Export All in Layer" command that would batch-export all objects from the current layer.
Actually for my use shell scripting as per your comment will work fine. Thanks for taking the time to write up that tip. But I can see how a gui export "Export All in Layer" command would be useful for those less inclined to shell scripting. Web designers could do much more than just mockup using inkscape with a feature like that. I haven't tried a batch export yet. so far it seems like this feature would require some training material for those who wish to use it because it doesn't sound like an intuitive process that one would just stumble upon.
I'm just a wannabe web designer at best. I think you should ask Artemio about his workflow. The website says, "Artemio displays several websites he's designed using Inkscape for drawing the site and Gimp to cut it up into component pieces."
What other classes of inkscape users would use batch export? Clip-artists and icon designers? There was talk about this in relation to icons.svg a while back. People were looking for a way to draw objects in a single file to better keep a standard look. Of course that sounds like a desire for SVG export not bitmap export.
