Description
When exporting out to SVG, each layer has a different bounding box. This makes it difficult to correctly align layers after the fact. In comparison, exporting from ArcMap to Illustrator, each layer has a consistent clipping path, which has two major advantages:
1. It is easy to realign layers if they accidentally shift out of position in Inkscape
2. Switching layers with new data is easy, as the bounding box remains constant
ArcMap/Illustrator accomplishes this with clipping paths (which I know is a long-standing Qt bug). Until that is solved, I would recommend that QGIS at least create a blank rectangle the same size as the map extent, so that it could be used to create this consistent bounding box
