Re: [svgwg] Character counting in text 'x', 'y', 'dx', 'dy', and 'rotate' attributes. (#537)

The general problem of assigning each character a position in handwritten scripts is kind of meaningless. E.g. in Arabic, should we use Kashida to make the text flow from one character to the next? I wish I was around when this feature was being introduced, so I could have argued that authors should do their own counting by putting each character inside its own `<text>`. I wish we could deprecate this feature.
