Here is a simple question about SVG.

Let's assume I have a circle which has a thick stroke. Then I put it in a group which has a transform attribute that specifies 0.5x scale in the horizontal direction. When the drawing is rendered, should the stroke of the circle be thinner on the sides or have an uniform width?

For better or worse, the spec says it should be thinner [in terms of its appearance in a png, as distinct from its width in its local coordinate system]: see
