Re: [svgwg] Character counting in text 'x', 'y', 'dx', 'dy', and 'rotate' attributes.

@kojiishi It will change the rendering only if the author has assigned a coordinate for a codepoint within the EGC *and* a UA decides to change how it handles coordinates assigned to such characters. (It would not be required to make such a change, since the definition of typographic character unit is malleable, and whether a coordinate assigned within the typographic character unit is honored would be up to the UA.)

However, such a change would only affect that particular EGC; it would not re-pair all the coordinates after it with different bits of the text, which is what would happen if you count by EGC or anything else that changes over time. This is what's important: to ensure the pairing between the list of coordinates and the text remains constant over time.
