(Get the code!)
sas,
some people always take a little longer to catch on.
the fact you never had a global URI is not a reason not to worry, nor for implementing something the 'wrong' way...
this has significant implications for the GUI, which may well have developed in a skewed direction, merely because this was never implemented.
Once you understand this much, it is then clear that each object should be a symbol and cloned, even if there is only one instance in the document.
that way someone else using a 'properly' instanced authoring tool, like inkscape will become... can reference the object without copying the code.
else they cant.
naturally if you dont understand this there are other issues to worry about such as the ones you suggest regarding skipping the cloning and copying the code instead. Or in your own words "unlink the copied clones, so that they are no longer clones."
that way no one can link to them, perhaps not the best move?
