1- Is it a good idea to set stroke&fill independently from the objects attributes? (I find this useful but want your opinions about coding and usability).
Just read your mail, very quick reply:
What you propose is not possible for LPEs. The style of the output is inherited from the original path. So, although that style can be set to anything, it means there can only be *one* style on a shape with LPE output. It is a huge change to make it possible for LPEs to output separate paths with individual styles, and probably we should not call those live path effects anymore. (Perhaps we should rename LPE to "LPM": live path modifier, as that is what it does.)
I thought up a solution that unfortunately does not work: - clone original path and apply LPE to the clone - adjust the style of the clone to whatever you want. I checked but unfortunately this does not work, because the original path's style overrides the clones' style :(
