SVG Circular text to textPath (center alignment)

I am having a problem with circular text related to SVG. My goal is to create a path that will allow me to write on it, but also center the text, keeping traces of my path - from the top of the circle.

Example

Problem

I am currently using a combination of textPath + path to generate a path and write to it.

<svg>
<defs>
<path id="textPath" d="M 200 175 A 25 25 0 0 0 182.322 217.678" />
</defs>
<text x="25" y="0"><textPath xlink:href="#textPath" startOffset="0" >here goes my text</textPath></text>
</svg>

I also tried Raphael's library to manage it, but seriously I can't do what I want. Is it someone who really managed to get it to work? Or is there a way to do it this way?
