AFAIK they are simple to specify:  you just specify the in-between points,
rather than specifying the control points as well as is the case with bezier
splines.  The bezier spline requires 2 control points for each point specified
while in quadratic and cubic they are considered as the next and previous
points.

Hey, some people do it by hand rather than on inkscape! :)
