+dashes and the gaps will be adjusted.</p>
+
+<p>The target length that a dash pattern will be adjusted to depends

+
+<ol>
+  <li>If <a>'stroke-dashcorner'</a> is <span class='prop-value'>none</span>,

+  length, then the dash pattern will be adjusted differently for each
+  segment of the subpath such that it fits between the two corner
+  dashes at the ends of the segment a whole number of times.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The adjustment of dash and gap length in a dash pattern is done by
+scaling the lengths by a factor, which is the number closest to 1 that
+will result in the dash pattern fitting in the target length a whole
+number of times.  If <span class='prop-value'>stretch</span> is used,
+the factor is a number between 1 and 2, while if <span class='prop-value'>compress</span>
+is used, the factor is a number between 0 and 1.  If there
+is no appropriate factor that can be chosen – for example if
+<span class='prop-value'>stretch</span> is used but the
+dash pattern is longer than the target length, or if <span class='prop-value'>gaps</span>
+was specified but all of the gaps in the dash pattern are zero – then
+no adjustment is performed.</p>
+
+<p class="issue">Should there be an <span class='prop-value'>auto</span>
+value which means round to the closest number of whole repetitions?</p>
+
+<p class="issue">Does the compression or expansion of the dashes and gaps
+happen after an odd-lengthed dash array is doubled so that it has an even
+number of entries or before? Probably after.</p>
+
+<p class="issue">Do we want to allow control of whether the stroke ends with a
+dash or with a gap? For a closed path, you probably want a gap at the end,
+while for a non-closed path, a dash at the end is probably better. Omit control
+for this, but just do it automatically based on whether the path is closed?</p>
