@ScislaC: I never mentioned that I think it's easy to fix, or that I am capable of patching something. I would rather avoid discussion on backward compatibility, it's way too controversial.
@Jon A. Cruz: If I understand it correctly, you are working on abstracting coordinate system, right? That's quite a complex task. I don't think assumptions are that bad, Inkscape will probably stay a 2D vector drawing tool, it might be a bit of overkill to add such a complexity in order to get rid of assumptions about coord. system.
