Re: [svgwg] Use element re-write & related changes

Re conditional processing:

> Making it function just like one would use a MQ seems like the best 
approach to me. Treat it as display:none and create the shadow tree.

This is the easiest approach to deal with conditional processing, but 
it's also the least useful.  It would mean that the answer to #44 is 
that no, conditional processing does _not_ stop audio from playing 
(since `display: none` does not).  Quite frankly, the neutering of 
conditional processing started when the WG agreed that scripts and 
stylesheets wouldn't be affected by it, so this is just a final nail.
  But it would be unfortunate.  What's the point of doing 
feature-support testing if you still end up loading all your fallback 
external resources in either case?

I would much prefer to have conditional processing make the sub-tree 
completely inert, like an HTML `<template>`.  That would mean 
re-visiting the previous resolution about `<script>`.
