I did this only to make the drawing simpler and maybe
faster.

probably right.
would be better to merge them into a single path, and
to make sure that
no path segments occur in places where a visible line is not supposed to
appear. (That is, if you set a stroke for the path, the stroked line
should appear only along the boundary of the red/green and white areas.)
Good idea.
But this means you must explicitly state all 22 "Alkmar Allah"
elements. This can't be the sense/usage of SVG-coding. :-(
I want to have a logical strcutred SVG code reflecting the geometric constrcution, not a
meaningless heap of coordinates of 3 pathes for 3 colors ! :-((
* The emblem in the center is built by drawing one
half of it and then
cloning and mirroring it. At some sizes, this can cause a faint white
line to appear where the two halves join together. It would be better
to draw the entire emblem as a single path.
I know this issue. :-( And the current
version has exactly corrected this problem
by add atiny logical overlap. But I think mirroring complex pathes is easier
for threndere than two times draw/interparte the compl4x path coordinates, doesn't
it?
Look at flags of Serbia or even Ecuador, how long in real time drawing needs
because of HUGE complex pathes. :-(
it cannot eliminate them entirely. The only way to
reliably solve the
problem is to design your drawings so that they don't contain coincident
paths.
If you are right, this means to abandoned advantage from mirror symmetries
(or rotational symmetries) to repeat sub-patterns. I hope you are wrong with
"The only way to reliably solve" . :-/
BTW: Sorry, for my many typos and grammar mistakes and wrong wording.
Thanks for your ideas,
