The size of objects seem to change as one changes the thickness of their outline - seems odd to me - it makes aligning things a bit 'hit and miss' if you then go back and edit them later. Admittedly, Xara had a similar (but not identical) issue - it's the one and only area where I think Illustrator is superior.
That is a configurable behavior. There's a button for it on the toolbar when the Selection tool is being used.
I think the original poster was referring to a different thing - including of stroke into bbox, which we incidentally are discussing right now. It looks more and more evident to me that something needs to be done about that (although I personally have no problem with the current behavior, and curiously I don't remember any complaints on this matter until very recently).
I don't have a problem with the current behaviour either - now that I know a way around it anyway - though it did seem a bit of a problem until I'd figured out the solution.
Incidentally, is there a way to change the defaults on things like that - Document Properties for instance? I suppose the clunky way to do it is to create a new document, save it under a name like 'default.svg', edit its properties and use that as a 'template' each time one wants to start a new picture. Be nice to be able to change the defaults 'globally' though (or maybe I just haven't found how to do it yet...).
