I think that argues for having textLength="0" mean nothing gets 
rendered, since it is as if the text is squished down to nothing.  At 
least for lengthAdjust="spacingAndGlyphs".  For lengthAdjust="spacing", 
we'll just apply whatever we decide to handle the "textLength is less 
than the width of the widest glyph in the text" behaviour.
