The above is what my proposal would support. :) The current rotation for a path segment is given by the tangent at the end of the preceding path segment. In addition, R/r could be used to specify a new current rotation. For the cases where it’s not possible to get a direction, we already have definitions in the Implementation Requirements appendix to determine a direction: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/implnote.html#PathElementImplementationNotes > PS: Should these kind of discussion go to www-svg as well? Yes, my mistake for sending the initial mail to public-svg-wg. :( -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
