Re: [svgwg] SVG Image size conflicts with size property and CSS style

Taking a closer look at the Embedded content chapter, it looks like we
 have two different legacies of the pre-geometric properties draft.  
For `image` and `foreignObject`, there is the outdated attributes box.
  For the HTML namespace elements, there's a warning that the only way
 to position them is with transforms, and then special rules for 
computing width & height in a pseudo-box-model context.  

I would expect that you could use x/y/width/height geometric 
properties to position and size all of these elements in a consistent 
manner, even if the presentation attributes are only available on the 
elements in the SVG namespace.  I think that also avoids any confusion
 on how width & height should be interpretted for the HTML elements.

I'm tidying up the chapter with that in mind, but I wanted to give 
folks (particularly @nikosandronikos and @tabatkins) a heads up, since
 this is slightly more than an editorial change.
