Re: [svgwg] Define equivalent paths for degenerate shapes

This issue was discussed at the [18 August 2016 
telcon](https://www.w3.org/2016/08/18-svg-minutes.html#resolution02).

We agreed that it is most useful to calculate the equivalent path for 
degenerate shapes using the same algorithm as normal.  Then, the 
bounding box is naturally calculated from that.  Implementers will 
need to keep track of the actual values of width/height, r, and rx/ry 
(for ellipses) and turn off rendering if they are zero.

> RESOLUTION: For equivalent paths exposed to authors, the actual 
equivalent path must be returned, even if the basic shape would not 
render.

We agree that it might be useful in the future to have a way of 
exposing this difference in behavior to authors, allowing them to 
control it with some property.  But we're not making any decisions at 
this point on how that might work.
