This highlights another error-of-omission in the mesh data structures -
the basis matrices for cubic curves and bicubic patches aren't defined
in the data structures, and we're just assuming that the render engine
will always default to Bezier. Doh!
Regardless, it doesn't matter. While it's simple to elevate the order
of a quadratic curve to make it cubic, I note from the link you provide
that SVG also supports circular arcs, and the only gprim in K-3D that
supports arcs are NURBS. I'd suggest just using NURBS for everything.
Cheers,
