Re: [svgwg] Values in SVGZoomAndPan and SVGUnitTypes should be accessible to javascript

We talked about the issue on our call today. Since we've got 3 
different implementers giving the OK for SVGUnitTypes to be an 
ordinary interface with no mixin, we're okay with that.  

@shepazu is going to look in to getting the W3C permissions sorted for
 @foolip in order to merge that pull request.  We may need to 
temporarily add you to the GitHub SVG team, but I don't *think* that 
means you have to be formally assigned as a Google rep on the WG.  If 
it gets too complicated, one of the WG members can make the edits.

For SVGZoomAndPan, we hope to get consensus from you all before making
 a change (if any).

Things to consider (my personal opinion):

- The attribute/behavior that these constants correspond to isn't 
implemented in any actively-developed user agent, and we've currently 
got it marked as "at risk" in the spec.

- Even without seeing the data, I'm pretty sure that usage of the 
constants from the SVGSVGElement and SVGViewElement interfaces is just
 as low (meaning, essentially zero) as for the direct usage of the 
SVGZoomAndPan interface.

As much as I'd love to see proper browser implementations of user zoom
 & pan control for graphics, I suspect that when that comes it will be
 via a new functionality that works for all web content, not just SVG,
 and that is compatible with existing pinch-zoom implementations.  
(And hopefully, it will be via a mechanism that doesn't "disable" 
zoom, it only defines which container isolates the zoom.)
