See #537, where it was discovered that most browsers use different counting methods for the attributes (based on code points / Unicode characters) vs DOM methods (based on UTF-16 blocks / JS string indexing). We [resolved](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/537#issuecomment-416351148) to match that behavior in the spec, since it is a more useful behavior.

So this whole definition will need to be rewritten or dropped completely.
