As a cartographer I must agree with Doug. How many people develop their own applications and get lost with the very complex path element. In my opinion we need 2 new graphic elements: - a regular polygon with radius, inner radius, number of edges - a pie sector with angle, start angle, radius (and maybe an inner radius for ring sectors) I know that each person has a different idea of extending the standard, but from an teachers and application developers point of view the 2 new elements are used very often. And isn't it the main advantage of SVG, that the code is readable and understandable (even for non-programmers)?
