Re: making comma-wsp optional between points list coordinates

Hello world,

consistency with other cases is always a good argument for a change. But 
in this case, I would have proposed to have a consistency to a notation 
which is _readable_, and _intuitively_ _understandable_ by _humans_ 
instead of allowing notations like "1.5.3-1,.2-.7e1.2.3" in any case, 
meaning something like a sequence of six or seven numbers (and even the 
experts in this thread were not consistent in their opinion whether 
these are six or seven numbers). SVG should be a language which is able 
to be read and understood (besides being authored) by humans, not only 
by machines - otherwise one might define SVG as a binary coded format 
instead of a textual one in order to save some amount of bytes (if this 
might be the reason to allow such horrible notations of sequences of 
numbers).
