Re: [svgwg] Unclear step in Text Layout Algorithm (section 11.5) (#617)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `Unclear step in Text Layout Algorithm (section 11.5)`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLUTION: Fix algorithm to be consistent with SVG 1 and implementations (dx/dy add to x/y on same character).`

&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: Unclear step in Text Layout Algorithm (section 11.5)<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/617<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: This is a rather confusing algorithm, but I think I've figured out where the issue is. According to the prose, if a given character has both `x` and `dx` values, they get combined (set `x`, and then add `dx`), but according to the algorithm `dx` gets dropped in that case. And that's not what Inkscape or browsers do.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: Are implementations consistent? Can we just adjust the algorithm to match?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: I think everyone's consistent.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: Have you figured out the suggested changes, in your last comment Tav?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: I think so. Needs a review.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: Can you make it a proper PR?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Tav: Sure.<br>

&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: And tag the original poster for review, who seems to be working on an implementation.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> RESOLUTION: Fix algorithm to be consistent with SVG 1 and implementations (dx/dy add to x/y on same character).<br>
