ODF supports the SVG path attribute fully see: 9.2.6 Path.

Path Data
The syntax for the attribute svg:d is described in §8 of the Scalable Vector 
Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification [SVG].

That is only true for Enhanced Geometry shapes. For path shapes relative 
commands are allowed.

Are you sure you not mixing two different things?

As I said this is already in ODF.

I don't know If it makes sense to support relative commands for the enhanced 
path shapes as they are I think not in SVG. I also don't know if it would be 
possible to do so there. 

Hope that helps.
