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

We've discussed this previously, and came to the conclusion that it would likely not be backwards compatible.  Authors may be creating elements without width/height/radius, or with them set explicitly to zero, as a placeholder prior to updating them with script or SMIL animation.  How big of a compatibility issue it would be, I don't know. But I lean towards avoiding breaking changes whenever possible.

See #235 and #236 for some ideas and other complications.
