No, you're right.  If it's using "float" and someone passes in NaN or 
something that coerces to NaN (like undefined), then you'll get an 
exception.  You can see that in a current Gecko:

   document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", 
"path").createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicAbs(undefined, undefined, undefined, 
undefined, undefined, undefined)
   TypeError: Argument 1 of 
SVGPathElement.createSVGPathSegCurvetoCubicAbs is not a finite 
floating-point value.
