[svgwg] <circle> with r=0 - disabled or not?

fsoder has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== <circle> with r=0 - disabled or not? ==
In SVG 1.1 r=0 on a `'circle'` element disabled rendering of the circle [1], while in SVG 2 this requirement has been removed [2]. I have not managed to find a paper trail for this behavioral change, and a quick UA sample did not show that the SVG 2 behavior has been implemented.
If this was an intentional change I wonder why it was only applied for `'circle'` and not the other shapes (`'rect'`, `'ellipse'`) which could reasonably render something even when degenerate.
