[svgwg] Issue: Two questions about the `<a>` element marked as DoC_noResponse

nikosandronikos has just labeled an issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "DoC_noResponse":

== Two questions about the `<a>` element ==
**1. Are links allowed to be nested?**

https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#Links

>The ‘a’ element may contain any element that its parent may contain, 
except itself.

And then [its content model 
description](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#AElement) 
states it can contain `<a>` elements. Am I misunderstanding the spec? 
If the ability to nest links is being removed, why?

**2. Should the `<a>` element gain the additional attributes it has 
from HTML?**

In particular:

* `rel` has a very popular use with the `nofollow` value
* `download`
* `referrer`

`type`, `hreflang`, and `media` are rather useless, but leaving them 
out while allowing the above would be a bit inconsistent.
