Using the exact layer names in Inkscape would allow you to choose front or back from your drawing. Additionally we should allow the Dwgs, Cmts and Eco layers (KiCad 4.0.7 seems to load them without complaints).

So the table from the README would become:

My pull request #26 does this, If you are interested you could test my branch of this project.
The owner doesn't look very active anymore so I have no clue how long it will take for this to be merged.

Thanks, I am now using svg2shenzhen as it's a better workflow for me and has all the layers mapped one to one.
