Looks good. One request and one comment:
Request: To be able to control the angle of the butt end like you would
have with a calligraphy stroke. You could use the placement of the node
closest to the end to control the angle.
Comment: 'Smoothness' maybe not the best term. Try setting it to 1.0 and
the line is anything but smooth.

It appears Illustrator got a new tool in CS5, the Width Tool which is pretty much like Powerstroke. Their UI for it appears pretty well thought out and it sounds like it has handy modifier functionality. It may be a model that we want to look into following or basing some features on. Here is a video demonstrating it's use:
