Sorry, just a user here. But I know that SVG compatibility is very important here.
The project rather tries to work on modifying the specs (see for example http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/). That does not mean that Inkscape doesn't introduce its own 'extensions' to the XML, but - aside from the flowed text issue (will hopefully be solved in 0.93) and the mesh gradients, that might go the same way - always provides a fallback.
