Yeah. We realy need it!

A master page will be great too.
A master page will define the global layout. What you define in the master
page will exists in all other pages.

Whow can it be done in SVG?

The master page will be the first <g inkscape:groupmode="page">, so it
will apear below of all inkscape pages to show the background drawing made
on it (but the value must be diferent: inkscape:groupmode="masterpage"). It
must be rendered, but can not be editabe, if the user is not on the master
page edit mode. That cam be made with "sodipodi:insensitive" on the page
<g>.

All the <g inkscape:groupmode="page">'s must copy the attributes from the
<g inkscape:groupmode="masterpage"> tag. It is important to allow the user
to set defalt font family, defalt fill color and other properties on the
master page for all the document.
