I don't think this would be the correct summary. The feature is already implemented in Inkscape 0.47: the clipping or masking path can be edited without unclipping or unmasking using the node tool.

The new feature for 0.48 to optionally auto-group clipped or masked objects (bug #394475) allows to edit (and add to) the contents of a clip or mask without releasing it first.
