Hello, I'm emailing on account of what I believe to be a markup error I discovered in the SVG specification, in the ArcImplementationNotes <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/implnote.html#ArcImplementationNotes> section, and under *F.6.3 Parameterization alternatives.* It presents the matrix equation, and in the variable definitions, it states θ (*theta*) is the angle from the x-axis of the current coordinate system > to the x-axis of the ellipse. I am fairly positive this is erroneous in that it isn't θ (*theta*), but rather φ (*phi*), since the apparent goal of φ (*phi*) in the equation is to rotate the ellipse equation by the given angle, thus representing the angular difference between the x-axes, as stated, whereas θ (*theta*) is the value outlining the ellipse. - CodeSmith
