For "aligned inside / inner alignement " stroke, most useful for tile cloning:
This can also be done by using clip-path svg attribute (http://<email address hidden>/msg13707.html) or clip inkscape tool.
Example svg with hand made clip is attached. See how the two circles stay tangent when changing the stroke width.
Automation of the process (copy of the object into def/clipPath without stroke and adding the clip-path attribute to the selected object) would be useful.
