I would love to break up <path> element into sub-elements. We had to
implement a parser within the parser for the <path> attributes. This
shouldn't be necessary. _Is_ it to late to do something about this in
SVG (I)?

Another thing is that the example files I have seen, usually uses
<path> excessively even when it is really only a polyline or polygon -
which is rather inefficient!
