I did create a patch to just visually change the ruler and coordinate display, but more experienced devs pointed out that this was not the best way to address the issue (see #76).
Time has passed, I don't know how much work is still necessary. I'd also love to see a fix and still suggest to use the svg viewbox element for internal coordinates and visual representation or rulers.

Title:
  Inverted ruler co-ordinate system

Status in Inkscape:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The y-axis of the rulers' co-ordinate system is
  inverted (increasing upwards), and places the origin on
  the bottom left of the viewport. The SVG spec places the
  default origin on the top left of the viewport, and has
  the co-ordinate system increasing to the right and
  downwards.
