Re: [svgwg] Remove support for "rev" attribute on <a> element

It was intentionally removed from HTML5 (the last version) because it 
was a total failure in terms of usage, and Microformats usability 
studies showed that it was routinely misused.  It was added back to 
the new W3C HTML without discussion, and over severe (after-the-fact) 
objections from Tantek.

Overall best practice is to, when necessary, introduce reverse-valued 
relations, rather than try and use `rev`, because people simply can't 
reliably work the `rev` semantics.  We should not be trying to 
reintroduce it in SVG2.
