Curved text: LTML curved-text syntax planning #48

Description

Summary

Plan the LTML curved-text surface without implementing it yet.

Scope

  • Decide whether curved text belongs on <label>, a new <textpath> tag, or a shape-owned child pattern.
  • Map LTML-friendly attributes to the PDF API concepts:
    • circle vs ellipse vs future path
    • anchor/origin
    • readable orientation
    • start angle and direction
  • Use SVG text-on-path only as reference vocabulary, not as a compatibility target.
  • Document which pieces should wait until the PDF API has stabilized.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add a short syntax proposal in ltml/SYNTAX.md or an adjacent design note.
  • Do not add parser or widget implementation in this issue.
  • Clearly document what LTML will defer until after PDF API validation.
