paths-data-20-f.svg

Hi All,

	I've been looking at paths-data-20-f.svg which is supposed to
test 1.1F2 Errata.

	I don't see any errata relating to this test, but more
importantly it appears to be inconsistent with the current draft.

	For example, one of the sub-tests (I haven't looked at
all of them yet) contains:

    <!-- out of range large-arc-flag value -->
    <path d="M280,120 h25 a25,25 0 1,0 -25,25 z" fill="lime" stroke="lime"/>
    <path d="M280,120 h25 a25,25 0 6 0 -25,25 z" fill="red"/>

	In the test matrix, Opera and Firefox have passes against them
while everyone else fails.

	It appears that the test is expecting rejection of the path with
the 'out of range' large arc flag.

	However, the original 1.1 spec and the current 1.1F2 draft
both state in the Elliptic Arc implementation notes:

"Any nonzero value for either of the flags fA or fS is taken to mean the value 1."

	So either the test is wrong, or the spec. has not been corrected
to indicate this is meant to be an error condition.
