Hi All,
Section about data normalization,
says, according to my reading, that if path data is normalized,
it has to be normalized so that quadratic beziers are transformed
to cubics (Rules T->C, Q->C). Some things like path animation
explicitly require normalization to remove relative coordinates etc.

Conversion from quadratic to cubic form adds a coordinate pair, which
means more memory consumption. 

Is is actually allowed to keep quadratics as is and just expand the
smooth quadratics to normal ones in normalization? If not, why?
