a spec like svg and you want other human beings to use it correctly
\, make it clear and easy to use. Then go get a coffee and rewrite
your incomprehensible \, ill-considered draft to actually make the
documentation equally clear. Otherwise that part of the spec will be
prone to errors and confusion \, from the backend to the wrapper libraries.

#X text 524 147 It turns out trigonometry is difficult to grasp and
just as hard to explain. This example is ported from Raphael's polar
clock \, which draws an arc that follows the circumference of a circle.
The original code is left uncommented \, causing more than one question
on the internet equivalent to \, "how the heck does this thing work?".

#X text 524 230 In addition \, drawing the arcs for this patch has
revealed both an error in tkpath's calculations for the arc's bounding
box \, and an error somewhere in the drawing routine that causes the
"jitter" from 3 to 6 o'clock in the animation.;

that the hypothetical textbook author is going to use your crappy spec

things into a truck \, and get to work.;

[line] \, but it's not hard to build a wrapper. (See easing.pd for
an example.);
