Bug Description
Greetings
Described simply, I would like to maintain the attributes
of a shape that exist in a namespace other
than "SVG","inkscape" or "sodipodi".
That is, I would like to define my own metadata for a
particular shape and be able to maintain it within
theinkscape gui.
An initial proposal for a solution (probably illconceived)
would be to implement the
element "inkscape:
subordinate to a <g>. This element would have
attributes whose names were not validated, but simply
displayed in a name-value-pair table-control dialog box
that could by diplayed from the context menu for the
selected shapes in the group. The value column would
be editable.
Using the XML editor would, I suspect, be a little
unfriendly to the expected user community
Is the Extension/Plugin mechanism meant to handle this.
If so, does a detailed description of this mechanism exist.
Regards
Endre Nagy

As a temporary solution, the XML editor already works,
either with inkscape:
attributes, or with rta:foo="bar" rta:baz="qux" attributes
(though the latter would require that the outermost <svg>
element include an attribute
xmlns:rta="http://
doesn't need to exist, it's just a string identifier).
