I'm curious about the ambiguity. Do you recall why that was said? I'm
sure it's more technical, but if it works how I imagine it could, it
could afford great artistic leverage.
IIRC extreme bends in the control beziers can cause the fill to self
overlap. Transparent or semi-transparent colors would allow the deeper
parts of the fill to bleed through. And once again, remember that I
don't know what I'm talking about. :-)
