My algorithm may very well be wrong in the general case but works for the documents I've been using. The logic is simply that two consecutive path elements will be consolidated if they have the exact same set of attributes, other than the "d" and "pathLength" attributes. I'm not familiar enough with CSS and selectors (what are those? :-) to know if this logic would break documents using them. I had assumed that if two <path>'s had the same attributes then you could consolidate them, but maybe this is not true?
