Re: [svgwg] SVG 2 spec section 13.5.7 (probably) incorrect for miter-clip (and arcs?) (#745)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `SVG 2 spec section 13.5.7 (probably) incorrect for miter-clip (and arcs?)`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED:  The "line join shape" is never less than the shape defined for a bevel join, regardless of the stroke-miterlimit value.`

&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: SVG 2 spec section 13.5.7 (probably) incorrect for miter-clip (and arcs?)<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/745<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: We previously agree to allow miter-clip values between 0 and 1 because most browsers did already &amp; it didn't affect rendering. But with some of the new clip styles, it would cause an effect.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... my preference is to define it so that values &lt; 1 never have an effect: you never have a clip less than the bevel.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: I agree &amp; I can do the edits.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... But these are slightly different statements. Do we want to always use a value of 1? because that is sometimes more than the bevel for a miter-clip.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: I guess there are two options. Treat 1 as the minimum used value, versus treat the bevel rendering area as the minimum join area.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... the pictures Tav posted earlier today show some of these cases.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... which is your preference?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: For smooth animations, you would need to allow less than 1, but still always keep the bevel area.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Sounds good to me, unless we have objections from implementers.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... proposed res: The "line join shape" is never less than the shape defined for a bevel join, regardless of the stroke-miterlimit value.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> RESOLVED:  The "line join shape" is never less than the shape defined for a bevel join, regardless of the stroke-miterlimit value.<br>
