Yes, that would certainly be nice.

That request does not make any sense. An exporter will always try to
use the lowest possible output format version that has the required
features. What extra features of SVG 1.1 would you expect the exporter
to use?

No. The only advantage of having it as a native module would be that
it could produce ArtWorks objects as opposed to just Draw objects but
tracers only use very simple constructs anyway. The only remotely
possible thing that springs to mind would be graduated fills but I
have never heard of a tracer that could do that. So, it would be a
waste of time to produce a tracer within ArtWorks.
