Re: [svgwg] Interaction of `x` attribute and `startOffset` in a textPath element.

To add another data point, WebKit behaves as Chrome does.

For history, here's a couple of old discussions on this topic:
* In Linköping we 
[resolved](https://www.w3.org/2015/06/12-svg-minutes.html#item05) not 
to add those attributes directly to textPath, partly because they can 
be specified on the parent text or tspan element.
* [Discussed](https://www.w3.org/2016/04/22-svg-minutes.html#item11) 
again more recently and I'm a bit confused as to what the outcome was

My opinion is that x and y on the parent element should have no effect
 on where the text lies along the path for a textPath, because only 
relative adjustments make sense. If I were to do anything I would have
 it move the start point of the path, but that would break the mapping
 of co-ordinates to glyphs.
