Inkscape needs a way to handle svg symbols. Symbols are groups which are destined to be cloned and reused in a drawing. They are not supposed to be rendered, but their clones should be rendered. When working with an object destined to be reused in a drawing, it is nice to be able to keep it within easy reach in a special place out of the drawing. This could be done by having a separate "shelf" canvas, on which all objects would be 'symbol's instead of 'g'. This canvas would open along the normal canvas.
