After reading it I noticed, that it just is the new expressions for the non-zero and even-odd fillrule. I don't understand "alternating" vs. "winding", though. "alternating" makes sense, but "winding"? I'll try to come up with some more self-explainatory expression.
Actually winding is a common term for this fill. Google it.
No, winding is the number of times the outline "winds" around a particular point. The two common methods are 'non-zero' and 'even-odd'. I think those are the names given in SVG too. Winding comes down from Cauchy's theorem in complex analysis, where the winding number corresponds to the number of poles in a region. Early CG theoreticians saw the similarity and the name has stuck.
Revert it to "Even-Odd", "Non-Zero" please.
