Re: [svgwg] Use the term "user coordinate system" instead of "local coordinate system"

The term `local coordinate system` is also used elsewhere. For example in the [definition of getBBox[(https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/types.html#InterfaceSVGGraphicsElement)

> The getBBox method is used to compute the bounding box of the current element. When the getBBox(options) method is called, the bounding box algorithm is invoked for the current element, with fill, stroke, markers and clipped members of the options dictionary argument used to control which parts of the element are included in the bounding box, using the element's _local coordinate system_ as the coordinate system to return the bounding box in. A newly created DOMRect object that defines the computed bounding box is returned.

If the two terms are being used synonymously then I agree only one should be used, consistently; but it is not yet clear to me that they are being used to mean the exact same thing.
