[[
The term # SVG layout box refers to the same term in SVG.
]]

This needs to be clarified. 

The stroke-width influenced the box in IE11, but not in the other browsers. TC: http://jsfiddle.net/N6wF7/

A clip-path did not influence the reported box in any of the implementations, TC: http://jsfiddle.net/zxYp6/.

Markers influenced the reported box in Firefox and IE, but not in Presto or Chrome. Note that IE reports a different box than Firefox, even though the rendering looks the same. TC: http://jsfiddle.net/bp59B/

It should be possible to define this term by using the new getBBox method in SVG2: https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/types.html#SVGBoundingBoxOptions. 

Browsers tested: Chrome 34.0.1788.0 dev, Opera 12.16 (Presto), Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 (2014-01-08), IE 11.0.9600.16438.

fs says what Gecko does now seems closer to SVG's "decorated bounding box"
