  I can see where you're coming from, but guides left by other people aren't that useful in my experience. I still have to guess how they made their shapes in the first place and there
  's no comment field that's visible from within Inkscape. Nobody ever puts comments in the code either. As long as you know how to use a Grid, Group/Ungroup and Combine/Break Apart, it's not hard to edit most existing icons. The few that are hard would not be improved by in-code comments or guides.

  Then we can use optimization rules that auto format and indent everything. It will expand the size of color icons a lot more than monochrome icons, but maybe we can live with that.
