Bug Description

Not all semantic-seeming SVG tags like "polygon", "line" and similar, really are, especially not when Adobe Illustrator exports text as curves. It would be nice with an option to convert these into path tags, benefiting from absolute-to-relative coordinate conversions.

Three examples (excerpts from a viewBox="7120 6998 221 58" svg):

  <!-- w -->
  <polygon points="7221.81 7047.479 7221.338 7047.479 7218.865 7053.958 7216.156 7047.479 7215.33 7047.479 7218.748 7055.606 7219.101 7055.606 7221.574 7049.13 7224.047 7055.606 7224.518 7055.606 7227.817 7047.479 7226.992 7047.479 7224.283 7053.958"/>

  <!-- l -->
  <line y2="6998.127" stroke-width="2.71" x2="7247.664" stroke="#000" stroke-miterlimit="10" y1="7038.646" x1="7247.664"/>

  <!-- k -->
  <line y2="7043.357" x1="7178.171" x2="7178.171" stroke="#000" stroke-miterlimit="10" y1="7055.49" stroke-width=".824"/>
  <polygon points="7184.236 7047.479 7183.059 7047.479 7178.817 7051.25 7183.765 7055.49 7184.943 7055.49 7179.995 7051.25"/>

This is not a suggestion that this flag would magick out a single "k" path, but a human could do it with less effort starting from two already de-absolutized paths than from the above junk.
