AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "Agenda+":

== SVGAElement implements two conflicting interfaces ==
The [SVGAElement](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#InterfaceSVGAElement) in the SVG 2 Linking chapter implements two interfaces where both two define their own `href` attribute:

```WebIDL
SVGAElement implements SVGURIReference;
SVGAElement implements HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils;
```

```WebIDL
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface SVGURIReference {
  [SameObject] readonly attribute SVGAnimatedString href;
};
```

```WebIDL
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils {
  stringifier attribute USVString href;
  readonly attribute USVString origin;
  attribute USVString protocol;
  attribute USVString username;
  attribute USVString password;
  attribute USVString host;
  attribute USVString hostname;
  attribute USVString port;
  attribute USVString pathname;
  attribute USVString search;
  attribute USVString hash;
};
```

The spec does not say which definition should be followed, and I think this conflict shouldn't in the spec. Is this a problem can be fixed?
