SVG Authoring Guide

Hi, folks–

I'm sorry that this is so late, but I just posted the first draft of my 
proposed SVG Authoring Guide to the SVG WG Github repo [1][2]. I hope 
some of you have a chance to review it before today's telcon; otherwise, 
let's discuss it in 2 weeks (I'm gone next week).

I wrote the entire document today, Tuesday 10 May, so it's very sketchy 
and incomplete; I didn't have time to integrate anything from Chaals' 
document, though that was originally my intent; nor did I cover 
everything in my own notes. Pull requests very welcome.

You'll see that I tried to approach this as a true SVG authoring guide, 
with the topic of SVG accessibility integrated into general principles, 
and emphasized through supplemental notes. I hope that this approach 
appeals to a broader audience than an SVG accessibility authoring guide 
would. Let me know what you think.

Please note that the active branch for this spec is the gh-pages branch, 
rather than the master branch used by most other SVG WG documents, so 
any PRs for svg-authoring should be made to gh-pages.

I'll try to keep adding to this, based on concrete material I have in my 
notes. I also think it could be productive to ask on Twitter for other 
key authoring tips that we could include (and for feedback on the tips 
and techniques I've already written).

I'm sure that both Amelia and Chaals have other suggestions for new 
topic areas and refinements of existing topics, and after I get feedback 
from the SVG-A11y TF, I'll be seeking help from the SVG WG in general.
