Hi list, Cameron pointed out today that the path() function in motion-1 takes a fill rule. It looks like dschulze added this late in 2014 so that other specifications (some of which need a fill rule) could reference the path syntax too.
Cameron pointed this out because he wanted to reference this specification for the property version of the 'd' attribute, but having a fill rule there is awkward because <path> elements also accept fill-rule properties. Additionally, fill-rule has absolutely no effect on motion, so it doesn't really make sense to accept one in the motion spec. My suggestion is this: (1) remove fill-rule from motion-1 (2) for now, each specification should separately reference SVG1.1 when defining a path syntax. (3) we should get two variants of path included in the next level of values and units, one with and one without fill-rule (4) gradually we can switch specifications across to reference these. Thoughts? Cheers, -Shane
