You can't break backwards compatibility. So most of that is a non-starter. If I could I'd throw out the a/A ellipses and just use R/r. You couldn't adapt it to 3D for a variety of reasons. But, you could with a narrow definition make arcs drawable and intuitive and work for the vast majority of cases to make A/a less popular. Also, the matrix stuff is applied to the shapes *after* so you could stretch an arc into an ellipse but that's a bit wonky. The matrix + unit_circle definition of all ellipses is a pretty interesting thing, but, in the end you can match the format of the other stuff in SVG and do like 90% of the arcs people want to do without much additional work. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tatarize Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/767#issuecomment-629082801 using your GitHub account
