Hi Nyall,
thanks for this - cleanup and consistency are much overdue. To me, as a
non EN speaker, outline is more understandable than stroke, but of
course you win, and any choice is better than inconsistency.
BTW, I also question the historical choice of having outline by default
for polygons: they do not look nice with it (plain full colour polygons
look better to me) and apparently it is also slowing down a bit the
rendering. So I would propose the default rendering for polygons to be
without an outline (stroke ;) ).
Objections?
All the best.
