AmeliaBR has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== Provide text-to-path-data conversion method ==
Annotation from the text chapter, an SVG 2 requirement that was never 
completed but should remain on our future wish list:

<table>
      <tr>
        <th>SVG 2 Requirement:</th>
        <td>Have a DOM method to convert a <a>'text'</a> element to 
outline path data.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Resolution:</th>
        <td><a 
href="http://www.w3.org/2012/01/13-svg-irc#T05-07-07">We will add a 
DOM method to convert a <span class='element-name'>'text'</span> 
element to outline path data, possibly moving the functionality to the
 FXTF.</a></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Purpose:</th>
        <td>To allow manipulation of text as a path.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Owner:</th>
        <td>Cameron (<a 
href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/3076">ACTION-3076</a>)</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
