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)

Haha, sorry, yeah that's what I meant, a shape with a variable-width (complex) edge.
I definitely agree with the feature, in any case. :)
The reason I was confused was because for me, a "stroke" is usually an independent line, not necessarily the outer area of a shape. So, reading "filled stroke" made me think the stroke itself was colored, like "a stroke of painting."
Maybe "Variable Stroke" (for powerstroke) and "Variable Boundary" (for filled powerstroke) could be used.
Replacing Variable with Complex could work too, but users may expect the complexity to apply to more than just the width (for example, combination of different line styles).
