The normal behaviour of lengthAdjust="spacing" is either to increase or 
reduce the spacing between glyphs so that the left and right edges of 
the text line up with x and x+textLength.  When textLength="" is less 
than the normal width of the text, glyphs will begin to overlap.  What 
should the behaviour be when textLength="" is less than the width of the 
longest glyph in the text?

   <text font-size="24px" textLength="1">Wii</text>

Implementations differ.
