[svgwg] Sensible defaults for path initial point

LeaVerou has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== Sensible defaults for path initial point ==
One of the most important API design guidelines is having sensible 
defaults.
Currently, any path requires at least one moveto command at the start,
 otherwise nothing is drawn and the initial point is undefined.
I would suggest using 0,0 as the default initial point for path 
segments drawn before the first moveto command.
This is not only convenient in cases where 0,0 is the actual initial 
point (I imagine these are quite rare), but it facilitates teaching, 
learning and experimenting with SVG, as it reduces the amount of code 
authors have to write to see something on the screen.
