Re: [csswg-drafts] Proposal: SVG Viewbox be controlled as a CSS propery

@bradkemper I don't *think* so.  This doesn't clip, either; viewBox 
just (a) from the POV of stuff inside the SVG, sets up the coordinate 
space they position themselves in (and in particular, what "100%" maps
 to), and (b) from the POV of stuff outside the SVG, defines the 
intrinsic aspect ratio of the element.

(a) doesn't mean anything for non-SVG elements.  (b) could 
theoretically, but it's a very roundabout way to handle aspect ratio, 
and misses some features we'd like for a real aspect-ratio property, 
so I don't think we should try to smuggle aspect-ratio into general 
CSS via viewbox.
