There has been some discussion about rounded corners. An Inkscape user asked for help [1] on how to do rounded rects where one corner would have a sharp corner (no rounding) - similar to the rects in http://www.svgopen.org/2008/ where the lower-right corner is sharp. Could we perhaps enhance the spec for rects so users could specify a list of rx/ry values with a defined start and direction - e.g. following the direction and start of the already defined stroking of rects. My guess this wouldn't be too hard to implement since most viewers convert the rects to path element internally anyway? Any thoughts on how feasible this is?

Although it wouldn't be hard to do it seems to me like an unusual use case that Inkscape could offer, if required by creating a path element without needing to extend the specification.
