Re: [svgwg] Scientific notation has been removed from the path EBNF

That commit was me copying over @nikosandronikos's changes from 
77ee7388622fb7a5b19ca08451e370a13b8795f3 and previous commits.

However, I am fairly confident that you are correct, @nical, and that 
this was an unintentional change.

As you noted in https://github.com/bodoni/svg/issues/3, scientific 
notation has been problematic when trying to convert SVG to be more 
compatible with CSS. But my understanding was that it would continue 
to be valid in attributes.  However, I now don't see any references to
 it in [the Data Types 
chapter](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/types.html#syntax).

Does anyone else remember a specific decision to remove support for 
scientific notation? That would be a major breaking change!
