I think that Illustrator introduced a much better way to do this than in Corel, but again, SVG is our limitation. The better way is to have the outline configurable as to how much of it is inside or outside of the shape. However, I believe in Illustrator the options are normal/centered, inside, or outside (which seems limiting when it could be via percentage or something).
One example of going from centered to inside (note that it keeps the numeric width unlike Corel). http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/stroke_options_in_illustrator_cs2/
An example showing having all three types applied to one shape: http://images.digitalmedianet.com/2005/Week_15/kqef0gqd/story/il14-stroke2.j...
Another interesting Illustrator thing with strokes is having different strokes on the same shape. What I find to be fascinating is that they even implement it how we would need to (via groups and multiple paths). Plus you can see that different segments of the same path also can have different strokes.
The bottom picture in the article shows how it works internally in their object dialog: http://illustrator.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=35497
Just interesting stuff imho... it seems viable to me once we can edit more than one path at a time with the node tool.

Yes, see the attached picture. I guess it explains better than before.

Hello all.
There is a nice feature in Corel Draw, that I'd like to ask if it could be included in Inkscape. Or if already is there, please point me out how to use it.
