https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27947

            Bug ID: 27947
           Summary: Specify forceRedraw as a no-op
           Product: SVG
           Version: SVG 2.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Backwards Compatibility
          Assignee: schepers@w3.org
          Reporter: simonp@opera.com

suspendRedraw/unsuspendRedraw/unsuspendRedrawAll are specified as no-ops but
not forceRedraw. In implementations they are all no-ops. Please specify
forceRedraw as a no-op to match implementations.

There is non-zero Web content using these
(https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/bSmQh2GLt_4/R3FXnXrJ7b0J
), so dropping them would cause those pages to break for almost no benefit.

(Presto updates the rendering during script execusion not because of the call
to forceRedraw but because Presto has an interuptable JS engine and generally
updates rendering when script takes long to run.)
