No arcs ;-)  The circular arcs are not part of the "Simple Feature" OGC 
standard - so nobody in the open standard/source world was that interested.

My library reads the arcs though, and prints out warnings. It should be 
noted that the Arcs are really old tech and that most modern systems use 
nurbs (as the "arc" ends up being inside all the control points). I am 
sure that was way more detail then you cared about.

As we look into supporting GML3 (and an associated ISO Geometry 
specification) we will have an oppertunity to support arcs. If you are 
interested let us know.
