The original authors of Inkscape probably did not see a need to provide editing capabilities as the path element can do everything these can with as compact a syntax (for paths: d="m 50,50 100,50 ..." is actually shorter than for polylines: points="50,50 100,50 ..." once you add in the attribute name).
But "compactness of syntax" is not a very XML-like virtue, right? It seems like if you are worried about that, use Gzip (SVGZ). -Arlo James Barnes
