An example of the issue at hand

SUMMARY
For my work I commonly use a lot of "Text", when trying to use the "Stroke" function to give text a thick outline the program will put the stroke "above" the text rather then "below". I have included an image of the issue at hand.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a "text" object.
2. Give it a "stroke".
3. Increase the "Thickness" of the "stroke" for a bold outline around your text.

OBSERVED RESULT
"Thickness" does not really increase and just covers the top of the text.

EXPECTED RESULT
I have included an image of how I think it should be in "Example 3". It would
do wonders to boost productivity if the thickness of the strokes on text elements were fixed.

I'm not sure if this should be solved in text itself. It's better to use Layer Style for that anyway.

For that just right-click on the layer, select "Layer Styles...", then go to "Stroke" and set it up as you wish.

Ok... it's apparently an SVG2 feature.
