Re: [svgwg] Add support for the `hidden`-attribute

With an appropriate rule in the UA stylesheet (as "suggested" by HTML), `display="inline"` would override `hidden` in the example above because of the cascading rules [1]. It appears that current UAs [2] actually treat `hidden` (in HTML) as a "presentational hint" [3] though, and if `hidden` (in SVG) were to be implemented the same way, the above example would be sensitive to in which order the attributes were mapped (and in this particular example I believe that would lead `display="inline"` winning.)

[2] Blink (so quite likely WebKit too), and it looked like Gecko did.
