Well, thanks.

I've got around it by using svg:path. However, the "z" command is not executed
correctly, leaving a visual gap in place of the joint.

    <svg:path style="fill: background; fill-opacity: 0; stroke: foreground; stroke-width: 1;"
      d="M 0.75,2.8
        A 1.5,1.0 -60 1 0 2.25,0.2
        A 1.5,1.0 -60 1 0 0.75,2.8
        z"
      />
    <svg:circle svg:style="fill: yellow; fill-opacity: 255; stroke: orange; stroke-width: 0.1;"
      cx="1.5" cy="1.5" r="0.5"/>
  </svg:svg>
</shape>

However, there's another problem with this shape.
1. I can't seem to make it 3x3, even if I add a background r=1.5 circle, the
resulting shape is a little thinner. Is this, perhaps, because ellipse is a
little taller than 3 units?
2. How can I override the line colors and styles for certain elements of the
shape?
3. When double-clicking the shape, I'm unable to set default line thickness.
And it always revert to 10mm on each new Dia start. With whole shape being
~30mm... kind of not the visual I'm aiming for. Is this something that can be
worked around?
