Re: [svgwg] Rect decomposition is invalid (#753)

I neither checked the reasoning for or know if I could the teleconference call that setup the close path ops. I do know that "V(start) Z" and "Z" are technically different and that the current spec says the correct final leg is V(start) without Z. Which certainly seems broken. 

That said I too think 3 mid points for the rectangle might be the more elegant solution. However I also think it might be better to say closed paths do not technically start or end and every point is a midpoint. Since geometrically I can just cycle through a subpath like that declare any point the start/end since it's a kind of of meaningless distinction. In my use case, my software is using SVG to perform laser cutting it actually does matter since I pay in time for distance travelled, but more properly closed paths don't really start or end. Z should be the original position and not a position coincident with the original position.
