Yes, AFAIK arc commands were dropped somewhere between 2004 [1] and 2005 [2], although I'm not familiar with most recent (WG-internal?) working drafts of the specification regarding this particular matter. Although related but slightly off-topic, I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest adding a reverse implementation notes for arc commands; that is, as SVG 1.1 curve commands [3] had arc implementation notes [4], IMHO it would be interesting to help developers/authors in the migration to SVG 1.2 process by clearly explaining how to perform arc to curve commands conversion (maybe attached to path section [5]) so that content migration could smoothly take place - a "downgrade", in this particular case. Does this make sense? Should a separate thread be created to discuss this particular suggestion?
