Re: [svgwg] Confused about 'writing-mode' with 'direction' (#618)

The relevant spec section is indeed too brief and does not clearly state the impact of the `direction` and `writing-mode` properties on the interpretation of the `x` and `y` attributes. [It says](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#TSpanNotes):

> Relationship to bidirectionality – Text is laid out in a two-step process, where any bidirectional text is first re-ordered into a left-to-right string, and then text layout occurs with the re-ordered text string.
