Re: Caniuse features missing articles on WebPlatform Docs

OK on Doug's tutorials distinction, but I think at least a few features are
also well covered in existing ref doc:

* "SVG in CSS backgrounds" :: css/properties/background-image :: feature
  is explicitly listed in compatibility table

* "CSS3 Background-image options" :: css/properties/background-image
  :: refers to >1 image, various background-position, -size, -origin,
  -clip, -attachment properties, which appear well doc'ed on each property
  page.

I think these should be covered on existing pages, but those pages may
need to be enhanced:

* "SVG in HTML img element" :: html/elements/img :: currently uses
  .svg example, but s/b explicit in compat. table

* "rem (root em) units" :: css/units/length :: add compat. table

* "Viewport units: vw, vh, vmin" :: css/units/length :: add compat. table

* "New semantic elements" :: html/elements/section,
  html/elements/article, html/elements/figure, etc. :: Many of these
  pages need sprucing up, but are any missing?

* "SVG effects for HTML" :: css/properties/filter :: add
  url(file.svg#filter) syntax to compat table; but note this only
  concerns SVG filters portion of that feature bag, not SVG's
  foreignObject tag, which is missing from ref doc

And clearly these need new pages:

* "Toolbar/context menu" :: html/elements/menu, dom/events/contextmenu
  already exist :: s/b new html/elements/command

* "SVG SMIL animation" :: svg/elements tree is missing animate,
  animateColor, animateMotion, animateTransform, & set tags

* "Touch events" :: dom/events missing touchstart, touchend,
  touchmove, touchleave, touchcancel

I left out a bunch of other features from the original list that also
would need new pages, but note that many require nouns not
accounted for in the existing content tree:

* HTTP headers
* file formats
* URI schemes
* URI fragment syntax

(Perhaps make room for the media fragments URI feature
http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags, which is similar to SVG viewBox
fragments)
