Re: [svgwg] Make SVGAnimatedX data types extend DOMX data types wherever possible

Resolution of the WebIDL discussion (https://github.com/heycam/webidl/issues/547#issuecomment-381759706):

> [PutForwards] and stringifier it is. Thanks folks.

This will take care of the two most common needs: being able to get a string value out of these properties (`.className` and `.href` and `.target`), and being able to set them with a string value.  There may still be some scripts/libraries designed for HTML that stumble on assumptions about the values being simple strings, but those scripts would be no worse off than they currently are.

@dstorey Are you able to put together a pull request for adding those two features, as well as the changes agreed to in #315 about switching new properties to simple DOMString,  and whatever IDL adjustments would need to be made to fix the double-inheritance confusion (#312) ?

Everyone else: Can we get some commitments from implementers to introduce these changes if we spec them?
