Re: [svgwg] Specify which attributes/properties are horizontal vs vertical vs other

This was my first instinct: that it would be most useful to use width or height according to the `writing-mode`.  But the problem is that the `textLength` attribute can be on a container which has child elements of different writing modes.  The adjustment calculations are difficult enough in the case of nested elements (and I don't think any browser is currently to spec), I wouldn't want to complicate it further.  And it definitely isn't useful to use `textLength` relative to width for vertical text.
