I would find that very confusing, especially when working with SVG.  If
there's a property on a <path> element called path-shape, I would assume
that it actually controlled the shape of the element.  And path-offset and
path-distance could easily get confused for the stroke dashing properties
and textPath attributes.

My main suggestion was to have a name that emphasized that these properties
apply a transform on the element, defined by the specified path & other
parameters.

If conciseness is a priority, we could always just make up a new word, like
"transpath". But "path-transform" isn't any longer than many other property
names that have sub-properties (border-image, text-decoration, etc.).
