It is intended to be a consequence of the lack of any capping. I've clarified this, but I haven't added a must -- I don't know what the must would be. Is line rendering really not testable? > "The miter limit ratio is the maximum allowed ratio of the length of the > two continuation lines to the line width" is wrong - it's the maximum > allowed ratio of the miter length to half the line width (e.g. when > mitering a right angle the critical point is miterLimit=sqrt(2)). Um, ok. I'm taking your word on this! Please check that the spec is now correct... > "If the miter length would be exceeded" - s/length/limit ratio/ Fixed, ish.
