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

> So what I'm saying is, the _entire_ text rendering system is underspecified when you do anything remotely weird, and definitely needs fixing. Might as well figure out a model that works well for mixing these things while we're at it.

I spent a bunch of time a few years ago to figure this out and come up with as consistent a model as I could for how positioning attributes, `<textPath`>, and so on all interact in cases like this, resulting in the long text layout algorithm that's in the spec right now. It's certainly possible that what I wrote down is buggy or isn't Web compatible though.
