tspan with absolute coordinates inside a textpath

Hi,

Another question about tspan and textpath... in
the specification, we can read the following example
that uses relative coordinates with a tspan element
inside a textpath.

Now, I would like to know what will be the starting point
of the "then we go down, then up again" if
I'm using absolute coordinates (using the x and y attributes 
on tspan) instead of relative ? 

I mean : Does this sentence will still follow the path
(and using which starting point ?)
