Steve,

Either you misunderstand or I do.

What I think Martin means is that, at the end of running each
extension, it finds all /selectme/ attributes and makes the
selection from them.  We agree there.

But, when he says "cleans up", I take it to mean "immediately
removes the attribute(s) from the SVG."  Thus there is nothing
left around to keep in a saved SVG file.

This seems like a required part of the extension-selection
process.
