[whatwg] Questions regarding Path object

[Jürg Lehni]

Well I know there will be problems: Paper.js has a Path class since 2011, and these will clash when using the library without scoping, which is what many people do.

I was hoping that a more specific name could be adopted before the standard is set in stone, hence the proposal of adding 2D to all global constructors that relate to 2D graphics and canvas.

I doubt we're the only library that clashes.
