CPK, Thanks for your help! It turns out that is it a scaling issue; widths greater than 1 don't show up at all, and those smaller than 0.00001 or so are too small to see. I hadn't explored between those extremes previously (paper bag time), but e.g. 0.0001 shows up fine, as does specifying the stroke widths in percentages. This raises a related issue. As you might have guessed, I'm working on a mapping application; I'd prefer to work in geographic coordinates, because that allows me to generate the SVG in a scale-agnostic way. This requires scaling those geographic shapes rather drastically (as you noted) to make them reasonably sized on-screen. However, I would like to express the stroke-width in screen pixels, _not_ geographic units. Is this possible? I.e., can I make the stroke-width exempt from the scaling transform?
