No you can't. If the stroke width is 'w' then you can outset the
bounds by w/2 to enclose the path for straight edges and angles = 90
degrees. When there is a more acute angle

Thus the angle 'a' of the corner is equal to 2*sin(w/m)
That of course should be 'arcsin', not 'sin'

You could ignore the mitre limit and assume it was always mitre
joint and it would give you a worst case bounds. However, it
wouldn't be sensible to do that since the bounds would stretch out
excessively for very acute angles.

You will need to also take into account of the line width (as I'm
sure you do) so I think the combined offset would be best expressed
as:
max(w / 2, ml * w / 2)
where ml is the mitre limit.
That's right, and precisely
