Specification
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/pull/1052

Summary
Recently some attributes of HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils have been moved into a new HyperlinkElementUtils interface which will be shared by HTML/SVG/MathML.[1]

In the spec, the SVG a element should implement HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils, but in practice no one was doing that because there are attributes that conflict between HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils and SVGURIReference. [2]

In this feature we will add attributes like origin, protocol, username, password, host, hostname, port, pathname, search and hash to the SVG a element by implementing the new HyperlinkElementUtils mixin.[3]
