JeremiePat has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg: == Fix prose about H and V path commands == Hi SVGWG, The [current wording of the H command](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/paths.html#PathDataLinetoCommands) state that: > An **H** or **h** command is equivalent to an **L** or **l** command with 0 specified for the y coordinate. This means that `M1,1 l5,5 H10` is equivalent to `M1,1 l5,5 L10,0` which is not the case. All browsers (for the lack of other SVG rendering engines) consider that `M1,1 l5,5 H10` is actually equivalent to `M1,1 l5,5 L10,6` which makes more sens. As a consequence I suggest the following change in prose to fix that spec issue: > An **h** command is equivalent to an **l** command with 0 specified for the y coordinate. An **H** command is equivalent to an **L** command with the y coordinate being equal to the absolute y coordinate of the current point. Because V is worded the same way (but for the x coordinate instead of the y coordinate), I'm also suggesting an equivalent change for the V command. See https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/pull/779
