I fully agree with you. This will likely become nastier while
compliant SVG Mobile 1.2 implementations are made available and spread
widely. Nevertheless, I guess this had to do with historical reasons,
as SVG 1.1 tiny also didn't have these shapes [1]

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to expose that to the SVG-WG
within the 1.2 last call time limit [2]... :-| I'm not sure if there
was enough debate towards possibly including such feature in SVG 1.2
Mobile, specially considering the current alternative: approximation
with (potentially more than one) curves.
