[svgwg] Issue: Define a style switch to allow one-dimensional shapes to render strokes, markers, etc. marked as Future wish list

AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as
 "Future wish list":

== Define a style switch to allow one-dimensional shapes to render 
strokes, markers, etc. ==
As discussed in #235, the rule that SVG rect, circle, and ellipse do 
not render when any of the key geometric sizing properties are zero is
 inconsistent with the behavior for their equivalent path.  

For example, a path that draws out a zero-height rectangle would still
 get stroked as a line.  A path consisting of zero-length arc commands
 would still be stroked as a single line-cap dot. Markers on the shape
 would also render as normal (albeit with multiple markers 
super-imposed on the same points!).

It was therefore suggested by @BigBadaboom that it would be useful to 
provide some sort of switch to authors, that could make these 
degenerate shapes render like their equivalent paths.  SVG WG members 
on the telcon discussing that issue agreed that this was a nice 
"future wish list" feature.
