[svgwg] Issue: Resolved value for the 'width' and 'height' geometry properties marked as CSS Consistency

dstorey has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "CSS Consistency":

== Resolved value for the 'width' and 'height' geometry properties ==
Should the 'resolved value' [1] for the 'width' and 'height' geometry properties [2] be the computed value or the used value?
Per CSSOM [1] it would be the 'used value' - under the assumption that the properties in question "apply to" the relevant element (for example `<rect>` and `<image>`), which isn't explicitly stated in the spec (AFAICS), but seems reasonable to assume given existing definitions.
I guess one could also argue that the 'used value' is the resolved value at all is because of legacy constraints, and so we don't need have these "new uses" follow those legacy rules.
AFAIK, no UA returns 'used value's in the relevant cases at the moment.
