Re: [svgwg] Rect decomposition is invalid (#753)

A comment that I was going to make but didn't get to in time, is that using a closepath for the last side of a rectangle will:

1. make the equivalent path for normal rectangles completely different from rounded ones (as stated above), but also
2. make rectangle equivalent paths completely different from other shapes (circles/ellipses, etc) that can't close that way.

I think this is a mistake.  The real problem here is the marker algorithm.  If in the future we do get agreement to fix the marker nightmare, then we are going to end up having a special marker rule for non-rounded rectangles c.f. all the other shapes.  Do we really want to dig ourselves that hole?
