Just to bring others up-to-date. We discussed 'stroke-alignment' yesterday at the SVG WG meeting (conveniently located in Paris). The feeling was that the initial allowed values should be 'left' and 'right' as it is easy to define how these values work for paths that contain overlapping loops. The values 'inset' and 'outset' are more complicated and require finding path intersections, something that the browsers don't need to do (yet) for any other purpose.

In https://www.w3.org/TR/svg-strokes/#issue5 described an issue:

How does this apply to open path segments? How are end caps handled?

Adobe Illustrator applies stroke alignment property only for closed paths, if path becomes open - Illustrator immediately removes this property and applying center alignment. Can we standardize same behavior in Inkscape for solve this issue?
