Re: API for Retrieving Stroke Outline?

Hi Vincent,

SVG has stroke features such as markers and dashing that Canvas does not
have.
The end result of an outlined stroke might also be sensitive to winding
rules. Canvas only seems to implement non-zero winding (and I'm unsure how
well it implements that since it's just a footnote in the spec).

Are you thinking that we should extend canvas or should we make sure that
the 'svg style stroke' is compatible with canvas?
