Re: Stroked textpath with underline, overline and strikethrough attributes

I'm not aggree. HTML and CSS does not have the problem because in HTML,
you are not able to paint the outline of a text. The problem comes from mixing 
the stroke attribute and a text-decoration. Of course we may have simple or
more a complex algorithm for the text-decoration. Anyway, mixing stroke
and text-decoration provide a poor result in my opinion. In fact, I just would
like to know if a correct SVG implementation will render the text like me or
not.

Thanks for comments.
Thierry.
