But even with this stuff removed, I have four instances of the same thing when I only want one, each weighing in at more than a megabyte. A look at the source code reveals that nearly 2 megabytes' worth of source code is pointless cruft that Adobe Illustrator's SVG export process dumped at the end of the file. Currently I'd like to use a 6+ megabyte piece of clipart that has four differently coloured instances of the same design copied into one SVG file.
I've run up against this limitation time and again. To me, the obvious usefulness of the feature lies in the preservation of system resources and time: I don't want my computer to deal with several megabytes' worth of useless hidden SVG nodes every time I modify the regular nodes in any way.
There's a recent discussion on the Inkscape developer list where a crop feature is requested and some developers question the need for it. And no, I don't think your tutorial addresses my problem, which seems to come down to a piece of functionality missing in Inkscape.
