ISSUE-2318 (textdeco-bbox): How should text-decorations be rendered wrt boundingbox units (gradients, filters)? [SVG Full 1.1]

Raised by: Erik Dahlström
On product: SVG Full 1.1

The spec doesn't define whether text-decoration[2] are to be included in the boundingbox of the 'text'/'tspan' element[1] or if it's separate. This can affect gradients, filters etc.

Should the decoration use its own boundingbox, should it use the text element boundingbox or should it use the text boundingbox unioned with the decoration boundingbox?
