Yes it does, precision limited to floats :)
In GEOS we considered using higher precision types to face
robustness problems (but computing boundaries of properties
at world scale is far from needs of a flash player..)

I'm not happy with hittest-by-renderer either, let's keep
going the right way.

About your "convert strokes to shape" thing: it is called "Buffering".
Hairlines would be a problem, as they should not scale as other
shapes. Also, I didn't follow news in SWF8/9, so dunno if there's
anything like dotted-lines or similar, which would probably not
scale either.
