Yes it's related to:  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataBNF

We have upon the spec, the choice to have (or not) the L and l, after  
SVG moveto
  without L  ->  moveto-argument-sequence
  with L 	   ->  moveto wsp* lineto

And as the 'l' was already present in relative output, i added the  
extra 'L' for
absolute one (consistency preoccupation).

But if we want to keep strict same output between 1.3 branche and 1.4
i could revert this easily
