[svgwg] The value definition of `path-length` is broken (#1101)

cdoublev has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== The value definition of `path-length` is broken ==
  > **Name:** `path-length`
  > **Value:** `none | @@ unknown symbol "number [0,∞]"`

https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/paths.html#PathLengthProperty

It is specified in [source](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/blob/e7e0c8a628c9e419d38fd78713b010d07aed7b68/master/paths.html#L1248) with `none | <a>&lt;number [0,∞]&gt;</a>`.

I assume it it is generated with `bikeshed`, although I have not been able to determine where. When generated as a Bikeshed document with the [W3C Spec Generator](https://www.w3.org/publications/spec-generator/), it prints with `none | <number [0,∞]>`, but produces a link error. 

The [bikeshed documentation](https://speced.github.io/bikeshed/#autolink-wrappers) says:

  > Bikeshed supports the numeric-range restriction on type autolinks, such as `<<length [0,10px]>>`.

`path-length` appear to be the only CSS value that uses a numeric-range restriction in the SVG specification.
