[whatwg] Questions regarding Path object

[Jürg Lehni]

I somehow managed to oversee all the things that happened in this discussion, but I'm very happy to see that Path2D is being proposed and agreed on now. It's also what I've originally suggested on April 10 this year, and I completely agree that it leaves much less doubt about its functionality and context of use. It also has a history as a term in Java2D:

So is this going through?
