Per the WD of 2000/03/03, SVGPathElement contains two distinct and
separate SVGLists, pathSegList and normalizedPathSegList, both of which
represent the "d" attribute data.  Either list can be accessed and
modified through the use of the path element's get/accessor methods, and
updating one will force an update on the other.

However, in the situation where the user wants to display the contents of
the "d" attribute (e.g. serialize the path element (and therefore, the "d"
attribute)), there doesn't seem to be any way for the user to specify
which representation to use.
