Re: [svgwg] Update/move the normative-but-outdated SVG DOM appendix

>  somewhere convenient to park the lengthy mathematical derivation of the elliptical arc decomposition

I agree that the conversion algorithms are appropriate for an appendix, because they aren't normative: they're just helpful notes for implementers. Similarly, the new "Notes on generating high-precision geometry" section is informative. They could stay in the appendix and it could be renamed "Implementation Notes".

For the rest:

- Error processing could go in [Conformance Criteria](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/conform.html).

- I agree, that Clamping Values makes sense in Basic Data Types.

- The normative bits about elliptical arc syntax and out-of-range parameters should be moved to the paths chapter. We already have an [Implementation notes](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/paths.html#PathElementImplementationNotes) section with error handling details.

- The text selection implementation notes could go into either the text or interactivity chapters.

- The "Printing implementation notes" aren't normative, so they could stay in the appendix, too. But the sectio nis short enough that it could also go into the ["SVG Viewers" section of Conformance Criteria](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/conform.html#ConformingSVGViewers) as a green note-box.
