Re: [svgwg] lengthAdjust values just for shrinking

> (For your "polyfill" of this, the most straight-forward would probably be to use getComputedTextLength(): https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#__svg__SVGTextContentElement__getComputedTextLength)

It is worth point out that the return value of `getComputedTextLength()` might not include changes made by `textLength` and differ between browsers in different ways since the standard is not very clear on this (_"user agent's calculation for 'textLength'"_), see: https://crbug.com/793965#c5 so it's best not to rely on this method for anything but the most trivial tasks.
