Why not? The first line should be producing a filled rectangle (with no
border), and the second should be producing the outline (with no
fill). Is it doing something different with the SVG plugin? From my
reading of the SVG spec, what we do should be fine.

The reason that two elements are written for this is that Dia's rendering
model separates out drawing the filled rectangle and the outline.
