[svgwg] Issue: Remove "side" attribute from "textPath" (#1068) marked as Agenda+

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

== Remove "side" attribute from "textPath" ==
It was decided to add it on February 2015 to SVG2
https://www.w3.org/2015/02/12-svg-minutes.html#item05

And it has been defined in 
https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/text.html#TextPathElementSideAttribute

The [SVGTextPathElement IDL](https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/text.html#InterfaceSVGTextPathElement) is not fully defined and does not have the `side` attribute. It has been acknowledged on [issue 391](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/391).

This is not implemented in any browsers.
https://wpt.fyi/results/svg/text/reftests/textpath-side-001.svg?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&q=safari%3Afail%20firefox%3Afail%20chrome%3Afail

It should be removed.
