Comment 30 for bug 171117

Apparently it's a bit more complicated than that, even -- inkscape has a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/567014) that prevents it from handling the clip-path attribute in the style. In order for this extension to work around it, it would have to track the clip-path nestings and create its own (nested) clip-path objects to assign the children in order to propagate clips without view changes.. That's pdefinitely ossible -- look at the "Layer Clip" extension -- but it's quite a bit more work. You'd have to keep the relevant clip-path objects in the queue and add sub-elements to them as you get new clip-paths.
