Bug Description

When clipping a shape, nothing is visible in an xaml export.

To reproduce with Inkscape 0.92.2:
-Open the attached file clip.svg (two squares partially overlapping and clipped).
-Save as xaml (with or without Silverlight support, same effect).
-Open the file with IE.
-Nothing is drawn.
-When the same xaml file is re-imported into Inkscape, a shape is drawn but it does not look the same.

Confirmed on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.92.2 and Inkscape 0.92+devel (66c5d5def, 2017-11-26).

The XAML file looks good (with a rectangleGeometry element for the clip path), but doesn't open in IE or Kaxaml.

The rectangleGeometry element requires relative coordinates, and we give it an absolute position. So the clipping object exists, but is not correctly set.

In your example, replacing:
<RectangleGeometry xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Key="clipPath2183" Rect="33, -27, 115, 63 "/>
with:
<RectangleGeometry xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Key="clipPath2183" Rect="108, 21, 115, 63"/>
fixes the issue.
