Explain SVG geometry properties #44394

@Gouvernathor

Description

@Gouvernathor

Follows #44306

Geometry properties are a subset of presentation attributes with specific rules, notably impacting <g> elements.

They were recently made more explicit in the <g> page, now the info needs to be included in the page about presentation attributes, with probably a subsection for geometry properties.
Those are routinely mentioned in pages for various elements, for instance ellipse, but a common definition would be better (and why not add a link to that explanation in all those elements' pages).


In a nutshell (will move that to the PR)

presentation attributes are attributes that affect the display of SVG elements and that have CSS property counterparts.
geometric properties are a subset of presentation attributes whose attribute version is specific to some elements and not applicable to others (so most of them are not applicable to ), and whose CSS property version is not inherited.
