For the record: Corel's SVG viewer did support the method="stretch" and totally did what is expected. i.e. the 1.0 spec was perfectly adequate, browser implementers get lazy:-) My viewer did BIDI on textPath as well as proper SMIL animation of the text path which both WebKit & Blink fail miserably on. Agreed this is useful, and already specc'ed, the hard part is convincing engineers to write the code for modern browsers...
