[svgwg] fill-rule Could Use Some Clarification

patrickdark has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== fill-rule Could Use Some Clarification ==
https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#FillRuleProperty

I just went through a thread on Stack Overflow (at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1983256/how-can-i-cut-one-shape-inside-another) and realized that `fill-rule` applies to "shapes and text content elements" but the SVG 1.1/2 specifications don't provide any indication of how to use this property for anything other than `path` elements. The SVG 1.1 test suite only provides one test case and that likewise involves `path` elements: https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20110816/svg/painting-fill-03-t.svg.

It seems that some clarification is needed on how to use this property with `ellipse` elements etc.
