Yes. Here is my suggested text to replace that paragraph:
The values used for the x- and y-axis rounded corner radii are
determined implicitly if the ‘rx’ or ‘ry’ attributes (or both)
are not specified, or are specified but with invalid values.
The values are also subject to clamping so that the lengths of
the straight segments of the rectangle are never negative. The
effective values for ‘rx’ and ‘ry’ are determined by following
these steps in order:
1. Let rx and ry be length values.
2. If neither ‘rx’ nor ‘ry’ are properly specified, then set both
rx and ry to 0. (This will result in square corners.)
3. Otherwise, if a properly specified value is provided for ‘rx’, but
not for ‘ry’, then set both rx and ry to the value of ‘rx’.
4. Otherwise, if a properly specified value is provided for ‘ry’, but
not for ‘rx’, then set both rx and ry to the value of ‘ry’.
5. Otherwise, both ‘rx’ and ‘ry’ were specified properly. Set rx to
the value of ‘rx’ and ry to the value of ‘ry’.
6. If rx is greater than half of ‘width’, then set rx to half of
‘width’.
7. If ry is greater than half of ‘height’, then set ry to half of
‘height’.
8. The effective values of ‘ry’ and ‘ry’ are rx and ry, respectively.
Verbose, perhaps, but hopefully clearer for dummies like me. :-)
