 # Next Up:
 # + add option to keep inkscape, adobe, sodipodi elements and attributes
-# - ensure a really good understanding of prec vs. quantize and what I want --set-precision to do
+# + if any path coordinate has decimal places, remove any trailing zeros
+# + use scientific notation is shorter in path coordinates
+# + scour polygon coordinates just like path coordinates
+# - 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
 # - 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)
-# - convert polygons/polylines to path? (actually the change in semantics may not be worth the marginal savings)
 # - prevent elements from being stripped if they are referenced in a <style> element
 #   (for instance, filter, marker, pattern) - need a crude CSS parser
 # - Remove any unused glyphs from font elements?
