Here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-canvas-element.html#dom-context-2d-closepath

It is written:
"...
Otherwise, it must mark the last subpath as closed, [[create a new subpath whose first point is the same as the previous subpath's first point, and finally add this new subpath to the path.]]
"

I think there is a problem here:
"...is the same as the previous subpath's first point" <= shouldn't be "last point" instead?
