Hi Team,

Just raising so we can remove and align with SVG2 spec:

Blink Commit: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?revision=171393&view=revision

Web-Spec: https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/single-page.html#text-KerningProperty

Just wanted to raise so we can fix it.

Thanks!

Decision on the spec to remove it

The kerning property in SVG 1.1 
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#KerningProperty

I didn't find an obvious test in WPT about kerning on SVG. 
It probably would be good to add a test there to make sure it has been removed.



It was also never implemented by Firefox.

For future reference: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/18813

It needs to be done behind flag.
