Re: [svgwg] should textPath elements parented to tspans or other textPaths render? (#580)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `should textPath elements parented to tspans or other textPaths render?`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: textPath is invalid as a child of tspan or textPath`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: should textPath elements parented to tspans or other textPaths render?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/580<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: This issue discussion is bigger than the title, but let's focus on that specific question.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... based on browser testing, textPath that is a child of tspan is not rendered.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... so we'd need to change the content model of tspan to not include textPath. Also textPath could not have a textPath as a child.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... textPath would only be valid as a child of text<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Well, there are also link elements, which confuse up the content models.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: Yes, that sort of pass-through content model is difficult to define.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: With that complication, do we agree on the change? Then we can figure out how to specify it.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: I agree that we should change the spec to match reality, even if that's not the most logical model.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> RESOLVED: textPath is invalid as a child of tspan or textPath<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: And then we need some testing for the `a` element to see if it correctly behaves as a transparent content model.<br>
