[svg2] paint-order naming and computed value

A couple of comments on the paint-order property[1] in svg2:

a) the computed value is 'as specified', but it would simplify the  
implementation if it was normalized into the ordered list of operations  
instead.
    Examples:
      'stroke' becomes 'stroke fill markers'
      'normal' becomes 'fill stroke markers'.

Are there any compelling reasons to force 'as specified' here, or is the  
normalization described above allowed already?

b) could we please resolve on the naming of this property? I'm ok with the  
name, and have a patch in progress to add this in Blink (behind a flag).  
Resolving on the name might mean that this could become enabled sooner.
