Re: Rendering of non-uniform scaled diagonal lines

I can’t find the relevant section in the spec, but I would expect the stroke to be painted first, before applying group transforms, thus making the stroke look like a parallelogram.

The spec defines <line> and <polyline> as "mathematically equivalent to a <path>”. I don't see any reason why they should be rendered differently than <path>.

Chrome and the dev version of Inkscape seem to render this graphics correctly, I’m not sure about other apps.
