Thanks for the response, here's some comments:

  * Mine is explicit about where it saves the exports. (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/411568 )
  * Mine is a little bit friendlier to web developers who may only want a rectangular portion of a drawing. The same technique basically works in both. Create another layer with the areas you want to export and export them. In the "batch export" the other rectangles need to be invisible, which is very bad for usability. My plugin ignores the actual color/alpha of the rectangles, so you can see what you are exporting. (Click hide layer if the color bothers you).
  * Batch export also clobbers, which was the original reason why this was rejected. Mine no longer clobbers.

In the end I think it would be appropriate for both to be in. I think mine is more intuitive and user friendly.
