Re: [svgwg] Add use and symbol elements to the Geometry Properties section

The SVG Working Group just discussed `Geometry properties on use and symbol`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: Geometry properties on use and symbol<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/525<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: The spec has some inconsistencies, about whether x/y/width/height are geometry properties on symbol and use.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... there are also pattern and mask.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Inconsistency was my fault; changed the definitions for symbol/use &amp; didn't catch the other places that should be updated.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... Can't remember all the discussion that went in to the change, but I think main argument was that it was useful for authors &amp; there was no real reason not to allow it.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... But, problem is that that change happened after the Blink &amp; WebKit implementations of geometry properties shipped, and I don't think anyone has updated it since, so we don't have our two implementations for Proposed Rec status.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... Now, as Dirk mentions, there are other elements with these attributes where we weren't yet ready to call them CSS properties, but hope to in the future. So if we roll the spec back, its not to say that it won't happen in the future.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: So, the question is what do we include in SVG 2?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: I think we need some tests. Confirm what is/isn't supported yet. Maybe ask if any implementations are in process.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Agreed. Then we can follow up with discussion on the issue &amp; bring it back to the WG with more data.<br>
