The try/catch comes from being able to detect if your version of canvas
supports the new arcTo call. With the current proposal, an author has to

I agree that the SVG definition is confusing, but the new arcTo API is
confusing too.
Maybe there's just no way to make it easy and we just have to document it
well (with example code)
