Re: [svgwg] lengthAdjust values just for shrinking

The SVG 2.0 draft, Text chapter, TSpan element, attributes list, textLength attribute definition contains a note:

https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#TextElementTextLengthAttribute

```
      <p class="note">
 This attribute is not intended for use to obtain effects such
 as shrinking or expanding text.
      </p>
```

Is this for text with varying amounts of content? Or for a specific pre-computed/stored text, with possibility for author computed exact textLength alignment adjustments? Here it seems to me that the textLength is the metric aimed/adjusted for, and not the width of any containing ancestor. Perhaps we could come up with even better ways to solve this still?
