Re: [svgwg] Consider removal SVGViewElement and its interface

Does that counter measure all usage of the element, or only usage of 
the interface?  And does it look at all SVG documents, or only SVG in 
HTML?  SVG views are primarily used when embedding images in 
non-scripting environments.  They have no effect in inline SVG.

Long-term, the functionality of views could be replaced by a 
combination of CSS viewBox, SVG parameters, and basic media fragments,
 but we're a long way from there yet.  As is, buggy implementations in
 some browsers and a lack of awareness has limited their use.
