Re: [svgwg] Question: getPathData() should expand shorthand notation by default? (#789)

This API is only a (very) rough sketch, but I think the intended behavior is the second option. The API is defined in terms of "segments", and there are three of those in this example, not two.

If a consumer want's to know the exact original data they can examine the string. Expecting round-trips to be "character-accurate" does not seem reasonable - "segment-accurate" more so. I'm not aware of other cases where round-tripping, for example, an IDL attribute offers this guarantee on serialization (in general because that would require preserving too much data).
