[whatwg] Blurry lines in 2D Canvas (and SVG)

[Stephen White]

That's an interesting idea. I suppose the fully general solution would be
to have a "stroke offset". E.g., with a stroke width of 4 and and offset of
2 you'd get "outer", offset -2 you'd get "inner", offset 1 you'd get 3
pixels outer and 1 pixel inner, etc. Dunno how useful that is, though.
