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. In CD, it is called "behind fill", and it is an option for outlines. You see, the outline "grows" both to the outside and to the inside of the given object. With "behind fill" turned on, we can only see the outside part of the outline, as if it were placed behind the object. One workaround for this is to duplicate the object, apply an outline, and put it behind the other object (without outline). But this involves more trouble, more objects, etc.
SVG doesn't have a native way for doing this. I can't find the portion of the specification that talks about it right now, but I think is should be found somewhere at:

In the future it may be possible to achieve something like your work around with the live path effects that are new in 0.46.
