Comment 6 for bug 1707899

Hi Bryn, finaly I find the problem by myself but lately Im too bussy to
reply.

Realy has a bad solution because variable width is based on a LPE.
Strokes couldent have variable width. Here I put a question with the
available options we can do:

1) On Power Stroke shapes we can force a 0 width stroke with color set
auto to fill, this is the less complex option
2) We can extend SVG spec to allow variable width
¿Realy?¿Fallbacks?¿Polifill?
3) We can check the item has this kind/s of LPE on color setting
widgets and use it inversed

Also a improvement could be retain last width used in previous strokes.

Cheers, Jabier.
