Re: [svgwg] 'text-anchor' and Arabic text (#628)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `Text-anchor & RTL text`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLUTION: No major changes. Re-examine the spec text for clarifications after creating tests.`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: Text-anchor &amp; RTL text<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/628<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Amelia, could you update?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: So, clearly an interop problem. I think its mostly browser bugs, but probably could use some spec clarifications.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Are changes necessary for SVG 2.0<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: needs  better tests<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Yes, either way tests are needed.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: for Inkscape, it looks like we're ignoring text-anchor on tspan. which is our bug.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Is there one rendering that is correct?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Looks like librsvg. But there are differences about glyph selection as well as alignment, not sure which version is correct.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Ok, so we need tests. Do we also need to change the spec.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: That might be easier to decide as we write the tests. Need to make sure that every test is clearly supported by spec text.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Can we resolve then to revisit after testing?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: To confirm, that means we are sticking with the main idea of the spec, that text-anchor is only based on explicitly declared `direction`, not on directionality of text characters?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: Yes, I don't think we want to change that now.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> RESOLUTION: No major changes. Re-examine the spec text for clarifications after creating tests.<br>
