Bug Description

Greetings, Inkscape gurus!

Inkscape 0.42 preserves baseProfile attributes, even
when they are no longer appropriate.

For example, open the attached file in Inkscape 0.42,
change the fill to a gradient and save the file. The
saved file still claims to be SVG 1.1 Tiny, but now
contains a gradient and CSS styling, neither of which
SVG 1.1 Tiny supports.

Suggested solution: always strip out baseProfile
attributes. Of course, you could instead try to figure
out when the baseProfile is still appropriate, but,
believe me, it's a whole lot easier just to remove it
unconditionally.

Why are you saying that "claims to be SVG 1.1 Tiny"? AFAIK
it claims to be SVG 1.1, that's all.

Hi,

I mean that it has

baseProfile="tiny"

which is the baseProfile value for SVG Tiny (as defined in
section 4 of the SVG Mobile spec).

Ah, got it. Indeed it makes sense that we should just remove
that attribute whenever we see it (we never insert it
ourselves), at least until we support profiles properly.
