I have come up with a (hopefully) neat solution that can help solve these kinds of problems (supposedly) very cleanly.
The core of my idea is that I think there should be a way to fragment path data, in order to be able to reuse it.
I have thought about the semantics and syntax for quite a while, and this is the best I was able to come up with.
The idea would be to introduce a new element: `fragment` (or just `frag`, perhaps). The element would have a `d` attribute, just like `path`, but it wouldn’t be rendered in any way.
~~~HTML
<fragment d="..." id="my-fragment" />
~~~
It would, then, be possible to use these elements from other fragments or from paths by using a CSS `url` function within their `d` attribute.
~~~HTML
<path
d="
M 0 0
Q 1 0 1 1
...
url('#my-fragment')
L 1 1
...
Z
"
/>
~~~
Then, a lot of the troubles I was having would be able to be solved by separating parts of my paths into fragments, and using only some of them for stroking, and some of them for filling.
