Bulia,

what is your opinion how this issue should be solved?
I would be willing to code and test according to a plan.

It would be really huge if you do this. As I wrote in my comment, the
plan is basically this:

Flowed text (flowRoot and friends) must be moved to inkscape namespace,
placed into a foreignObject, and added a sibling svg:text which gives an
automatically updated text equivalent. All this is placed into svg:switch,
the way Adobe Illustrator does with its text.

Plus, we must provide automatic migration of the old flowtext to the
new SVG structure, so it is read but when saving, saved in the new
format.

I know it's quite a task. Feel free to ask, I will help with anything I can :)
