That video doesn't help explain the stroke width request to me.
I know that laser cutter software typically uses stroke widths to visualise which lines should be cut vs engraved. But I am still not clear why you need both in one path shape, vs two separate paths.
> What all vector file formats lack in order to support laser cutter templates optimally is the possibility to tag elements as being of "material thickness", and whether an edge is the inside or the outside of a press-fit joint.
Since SVG is XML, you can easily add your own namespaced attributes to the elements. For example:
```
<rect x="25mm" y="100mm" width="3mm" height="10mm"
laser:material-thickness="width" laser:press-fit="inside"/>
```
