Don't you mean SVGPathElement?

If you dropped the SVG prefix, all  SVG objects would be prefixed 'SVG'
except Path.  Bad, Bad idea!

var p = new SVGPathElement( string );

or

var list = new SVGPathSegList( string );
var p = new SVGPathElement( list );

or

construct individual segments (using constructors like --->
SVGPathSegCurveToQuadraticAbs() <---!!! )
