A very late response to Larry: so, do you think that your modification of the BasicStyle constructor is now obsolete, since we can use "0"
BTW... I am exporting in svg and then prepare my images in illustrator(inkscape). Thus, i don't really have styling problems. but who has the time to do like i do.
