Hello Thomas,
first thanks for your answer.

I have time.

No problem. But I think you have more overview of the API than me.

Does this mean, that MOVETO's imply, that the Paths before was closed? Would 
be no problem to change.
I didn't have a case until now, where a MOVETO didn't happen at the begin or 
after a CLOSE.

Now, I've used xalan for this. I don't know if there is another way to create 
XML out of SAX Events. I haven't programmed much with XML before. Now xalan 
or another implementation for javax.xml.transform is required as library. Is 
it a problem for the distribution, to depend on this package?

The serialization is already extracted now. Now I'm thinking of the html 
class. I think I will implement it as XML style sheet which is transformed to 
java via xsltc.

With kind regards
