First I'd like to be on the record as of the opinion that the ideals Alan is indicating here are probably ones that are worth it. Especially given my long history with orphan platforms and hopping boxes, I'm well up on the benefits of standards and portability.
We're not breaking any standards. An <ellipse> is just syntactic sugar over <path>, and this specific kind of sugar has its price (namely the feature limitations).
think that perhaps a lot of the 'cleanliness' aspect will actually be part of making things work for different target profiles and platforms (SVG Basic, SVG Tiny, different target display types, etc).
And using <path> will not limit us in any way with regard to platforms and profiles. It's a basic element that everyone must support.
