Comment 0 for bug 171636

I am not familiar with the SVG specification nor the Inkscape code base,
but I have not yet found a way to achieve the following which, more or
less, are the same problem. Please tell me if there is a method I have
missed.

>> Please see the attached image for illustrations. <<

A. There is currently no way to create an editable path that has a stroke
around it's stroke.

 Workarounds are:
 o Use 'stroke to path' (makes editing very difficult)
 o Place two paths with different strokes on top of each other (you have to
maintain two paths, cloning does not allow them to have different strokes)

B. There is also no way to stroke around a group of objects that already
have a stroke.

 Workaround is:
 o Have two groups on top of each other with a different stroke (you have
to maintain two groups)

SOLUTION:

 o Allow cloned objects to have independent fill/stroke.
OR
 o For A, allow objects to have multiple strokes.
 o For B, allow groups to have a stroke independent of it's children's
strokes.
