inkscape usually puts a lot of attributes into a CSS style attribute, for example:

<rect x="10" y="10" width="10" height="10" style="fill:red;stroke:blue;stroke-width:2" />

Is there a way to tell inkscape to never use the style attribute but instead use SVG attributes? For example:

<rect x="10" y="10" width="10" height="10" fill="red" stroke="blue" stroke-width="2" />

Inkscape internally always converts presentation attributes to CSS style properties. You can save a copy as 'Optimized SVG' which does offer 'Style to XML' among its many options.

The file format 'Optimized SVG' is based on the python script 'scour' [1] and has been bundled with Inkscape since the initial release of Inkscape 0.47. Since Inkscape 0.48, various options of the script are presented in a custom 'Optimized SVG Output' dialog when saving as 'Optimized SVG'.
