I've actually never used Flash; just commenting on what I perceived as the terminology used throughout Inkscape.

With that said, call it whatever you'd like :) . I'm just happy the feature's in there as it's already making editing much better for me.

Now, any chance of an easier way to enter/select an exact width for a node?

Regards,
Aaron

In svg terminology the stroke is always the line drawn round the perimeter of the shape, not an independent line (have you used flash a lot maybe?)
An svg shape has both a fill (interior) and stroke (perimeter)
