I would like to add a clarification to some of the path command descriptions for relative commands. I look at this spec every once in a while for a random project, and I always wonder, what are the points relative to? I end up making a small SVG to test out what happens. I am looking specifically at 8.3.2 The "moveto" commands. I request to change: "If a moveto is followed by multiple pairs of coordinates, the subsequent pairs are treated as implicit lineto commands." to "If a moveto is followed by multiple pairs of coordinates, the subsequent pairs are treated as implicit lineto commands, and relative points will be relative to the previous pair of points." The lineto command could use a similar clarification. I haven't tested that out though. I also find this sentance in 8.3.1 confusing: "For the relative versions of the commands, all coordinate values are relative to the current point at the start of the command." If it is technically true, it's misleading in the moveto case. Also, if I got anything wrong, feel free to correct. I mostly want to help make the docs clearer. Thanks, Charles
