Actually, I wasn't saying that we absolutely must to store anything in the path. The length/width array (yes, of course, the lengths must be relative in the range 0..1) can just as well be stored in the LPE, and probably should be stored there for consistency and simplicity. That this data is unique to this specific path is more a question of interpretation - we don't have to "enforce" that in the code any way. Sharing it with other paths may still make sense sometimes, even if most often if will lead to misalignments e.g. between the cusps of the new path and the old path's width maxima.
