--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
A line has a stroke weight, which we inappropriately label as 'Width' as an
attribute but not a height or a width. 

A line, as opposed to a point, has a length whcih we don't handle directly
(although we probably should). Nor do we handle an area for a closed polygon.

Otherwise when laid down on canvas, it a line is inscribed inside a bounding
box--described as its Position and Size. Setting width or height of a bounding
box is meaningless as it describes just the end points of the line (as a line,
a curve or a connector) not its attributes--stroke weight or thickness.

My take, "Position and Size" bounding box should keep the 'Width' and 'Height'
of the shape object, while the "Line" attributes should be assigned
'Thickness', or possibly the more correct 'Weight'--remove the misnamed
'Width'.

But I do think line 'Thickness' rather than stroke 'Weight' would be an easier
distinction for L10N.
