Comment 2 for bug 595428

Svg text elements are quite complex, and I'm asking if we really want to specifying text tags as point of an A4 presentation.
 First of all, they don't have width/height attributes, so we'd want to calculate them from other properties of the text inside the tag ( in first instance you'd need to know the starting point of the text [x,y] and the size of the text [font size * lenght in chars?] )

Moreover, they can be combined with <tspan> et similia, they can be many lines of text (each of them can have modifiers of the size and whatever...).

So, I'm just guessing if we can ignore <text> and surrender all the region of interests of an A4 presentation with a rectangle, even transparent/hidden/whatever , at least until we have to directly handle SVG internals.
