Re: [svgwg] Clarify <iframe> behavior in <svg:use> (#876)

The current prose of the specification is:

https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/struct.html#:~:text=The-,shadow%20tree%20is%20open,-(inspectable%20by%20script

> The shadow tree is open (inspectable by script), but read-only. Any attempt to directly modify the elements, attributes, and other nodes in the shadow tree must throw a NoModificationAllowedError.
>
**> Within a [use-element shadow tree](https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/struct.html#TermUseElementShadowTree), ‘[script](https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/interact.html#ScriptElement)’ elements are inert (do not execute).**
> 
> Previous versions of SVG restricted the contents of the shadow tree to SVG graphics elements. This specification allows any valid SVG document subtree to be cloned. Cloning non-graphical content, however, will not usually have any visible effect.

It has changed since @emilio opening the issue.
