 #  * Put id attributes first in the serialization (or make the d attribute last)

-# - scour polyline coordinates just like path coordinates
-# - if after reducing precision we have duplicate path segments, then remove the duplicates and
-#   leave it as a straight line segment
+# + remove all empty path segments
+# + scour polyline coordinates just like path coordinates
 # - enable the precision argument to affect all numbers: polygon points, lengths, coordinates
 # - remove id if it matches the Inkscape-style of IDs (also provide a switch to disable this)
 # - prevent elements from being stripped if they are referenced in a <style> element
