  Excellent question  Here's what I think would make sense..

   

  Original XML SVG file: 

  <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
  <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
  <svg width="4cm" height="4cm" viewBox="0 0 400 400"
       xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
    <title>Example triangle01- simple example of a 'path'</title>
    <desc>A path that draws a triangle</desc>
    <rect x="1" y="1" width="398" height="398"
          fill="none" stroke="blue" />
    <path d="M 100 100 L 300 100 L 200 300 z"
          fill="red" stroke="blue" stroke-width="3" />
  </svg>

  Output:

   

  Width, title, desc all in metadata - only paths in example set:

   

  path      command     x        y    x1   x2   y1   y2   width    height     fill       stroke    stroke-width

  rect                                1        1                                    398        398          none   blue

  d             M                     100  100

  d             L                      300  100

  d             L                      200  300

  d             z                                                                                                        red    blue        3

   

  The key for me here is both to break out the shapes AND to de-pivot the paths.
