This is done now, and indeed it closed lots of old bugs. Let me know
if you see any misbehavior.

THANK YOU! :) This has needed doing for such a long time!

Now, the next most popular bug is the clash of IDs on import or
cross-document paste. How close are we now to fixing that? What if I
just do a hack - adding some random string to all IDs and URIs in the
document fragment being inserted to prevent the clash?

Once we have the infrastructure to find all the IDs and references in
the pasted fragment, why not check whether each ID is actually clashing,
and only change the ones that are?

(At that point we can also check for the unlikely but possible event
where the altered ID also clashes, and pick yet another).

And what remains to be done for this infrastructure to work?

Well, we need to finish implementing it first.  But we have some of it
already, in the form of SPDocument.

Part of the problem right now is that we do our imports and clipboard in
terms of XML::Documents rather than SPDocuments, but XML::Documents
don't know about ids or styles or any of that (SPDocuments do).  So,
switching the SVG import and clipboard code to each use an SPDocument
rather than a bare XML::Document would be an important first step.

Then we just need an method somewhere for copying a list of SPObjects
(and their descendants and the objects they href) from one SPDocument to
another, where the ID fixups can be done, based on looking up IDs in the
source and destination SPDocuments.
