[svgwg] 'd' presentation attribute inconsistent with shipped implementation and offset-path

ewilligers has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== 'd' presentation attribute inconsistent with shipped implementation and offset-path ==
Blink shipped the d presentation attribute with value: path(<string>) | none
based on the Sydney face to face discussions early in 2016, and the spec text
from around the same time.

This is consistent with the syntax for offset-path
https://drafts.fxtf.org/motion-1/#offset-path-property

I didn't realize the syntax had changed in a teleconference
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/119
until https://crbug.com/652822 was raised after Blink shipped.

It isn't possible to change the syntax returned by getComputedStyle in a backwards
compatible way.

Please consider restoring the spec syntax to
path(<string>) | none

This has two major advantages:
- consistency with the only shipping implementation
- consistency with offset-path
