Re: [svgwg] 'pathLength' interaction with <textPath> with a percentage 'startOffset'

Makes sense to me.

> That would be in practice be the same as saying to ignore 'pathLength' if 'startOffset' is a percentage. (If you were to actually perform the computation, it's a very real possibility that it wouldn't cancel out.)

That also makes sense. We could add a note saying that implementations may make that simplification, to avoid weird rounding errors when dealing with arbitrarily small floating point values.
