the @regard-pivot stuff is experimental-- i tried to patch inkscape to store a pivot (reference point) in the SVG, the double transform assures that this is respected in flash (so you could- eg- specify around which point an object would rotate). The inkscape patches are not finished (and probably wont be too soon), so i suggest you strip all such stuff off the xslt.

flowRoot, afaik, is an official svg element though, the implementation might not be finished (or working at all). I leave it up to you to try and get it working (i think inkscape uses two different elements for text, but i can't recall under what circumstances) -- or also strip it.

i don't have any testcases around; this is something that's missing for all swfmill... you're free to create some :). also, there's an official SVG test suite which might be of help...

if you're able to merge them, the better.

see above: construction of formal, automated tests would heavily stabilize swfmill...

jup, why not? :)
