    To clear this up, have a look at the picture in this review : 
     
    http://www.creativepro.com/story/review/7217.html 
     
     Its the 'M' glyph picture. 
     As you can see, very powerful and nice effects can be created 
    using this. IMHO multiple strokes are a bit more sensible than multiple 
    fills, but both have their uses...

    Great.
    
    Should we come up with precise suggestions for the 3 things you agree with, 
    or will you take care of it?
    
    (What about my suggested flag for text boxes - my proposal didn't get any feedback,
    does that mean it's accepted? :)
