This is a general OpenDocument issue. As you can imagine, it is also important
for SVG import. 

The summary should be changed into: "OpenDocument: elliptical arc command 'a' in
svg:d should be supported"

The "component" classification of this issue seems to be inaccurate. Is
"Drawing" better?

The current workaround in my SVG import filter
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SVGImportFilter) is to
translate elliptical arcs into a sequence of quadratic Bezier splines upon
import "myself". This translation is common practice also for rendering those
curves. Of cause, at least such functionality should be included directly in
OOo, because opening OpenDocument files that contain such elements may otherwise
fail.

Much better would be to offer elliptical arcs also in the UI. But this seems to
be a feature that should be considered for post-2.0.

If you want to have a look on the transformation code in SVG import, you can
start here:

http://svn.ipd.uka.de/repos/hauma/haui/trunk/svg2office/src/haui/xml/svg/transformation/ArcTranslator.java

This is a pointer in a SVN archive. You get access with user 'anonymous' and
empty password.
