[geometry] unrestricted double handling in svg

Hi,

a few comments on the use of 'unrestricted double' in the Geometry spec,  
particularly in the interfaces intended to supersede some of the SVG DOM  
interfaces.

It looks to me like SVG will need some wording for dealing with non-finite  
values, I couldn't find anything regarding that in the SVG spec.

What should happen (rendering-wise) when you assign an object that  
contains non-finite values to some svg element's attribute?

Should the assignment go through, but SVG treat it as if it wasn't  
specified? If so, on reading the value back should it return the lacuna  
value or the value that was assigned even if it's malformed?
