Why not use strokes?

[proimage]

A number of the icons (PDF, RSS, Wire, etc) could be represented in fewer bytes by applying a stroke to a path, instead of it being an outlined and enclosed shape. Any particular reason why this hasn't been done?

The reason is... I'm still learning about SVG ☺️😊😀😁😁

If strokes will make them smaller - go for it! Submit a pull request and let's save the world a few more bytes!

At least PDF icon can't be done like this.

Oh?

You right. I thought it will look too wavy.

Can you send a pull request with this icon? But remove style attribute.
