Comment:
1)  Please add a radiusY to the path arc command(s) so it is easier to create
ellipse shapes and elliptical arcs.  It would be very nice if the Canvas path
supported a similar API to that for creating SVG paths via JavaScript so
shapes could be exchanged between the two forms.  Perhaps even support for the
SVG Path mini-language (i.e.: &quot;M0,0 L40,50 A... z&quot;).

2)  The &quot;This box is non-normative...&quot; overwrites the text below.  It&apos;s
especially troublesome when trying to print a copy for off-line reading.

3)  The document format is not well formed for printing.

4)  Will there be a PDF of this spec in the future?

    <thetext>Please file only one issue per bug.

1a) I imagine we might add an ellipse feature in the future. What is your use case?
1b) There are no immediate plans to support the SVG path language, but it&apos;s something we might consider when adding path primitives.

2) Can you elaborate in a separate bug on where you see this? A screenshot would be ideal. I am not able to reproduce this.

3) Can you elaborate in a separate bug with specifics about what is problematic for printing?
