this is a great idea, but there is a major problem with this approach.
as far as i know , no SVG editor supports editing shapes inside a 
group, you have to ungroup before editing the shapes, and then 
regroup after editing, but then all settings of the group, like 
transforms and ids ( or in case of a nested svg the viewbox etc. ) 
are lost , so there is no way you can keep the structure ( and names
 ) you need.

but that is a restriction of existing SVG editors, not an svg 
specific problem.

in SVG Full you can have nested svg elements, like

<svg>
  <svg viewBox=...>
  </svg>
</svg>

you could also use symbols which also have their own viewBox.
but both dont solve the problem described above.
