Per https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/text.html#TextPathElement
If the ‘path’ attribute contains an error, the ‘href’ attribute must be used.
I can understand that path="" or path="foo" might be ignored.
However, does this also mean that a path="M 100, 100 foo" is ignored? That seems inconsistent with path error handling where it says that they are rendered until an error occurs (https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/paths.html#PathDataErrorHandling)
I propose that path attributes be handled the same way as path rendering i.e. as long as the first element in the path is valid, the path would be used.
