Why does SVG Tiny not have them? It strikes me as an odd thing to
chose to exclude. In many cases arcs are far easier to use,
particularly for things like technical diagrams where they may
precisely express the intent while a Bezier curve can only approximate.
I fully agree with you. This
SVG Tiny is targeted at devices with high restrictions in CPU speed
and memory size.
Just calculating the center point of an elliptical arc requires
calculation of a sqare root and trigonometric functions (see

), and is
