Well, if that's the way it works, that's the way it works. The spec is
possibly ambiguous, then, when it says about dx (and dy working in a
corresponding manner):
"If a single <length> is provided, this value represents the new
relative X coordinate for the current text position for rendering the
glyphs corresponding to the first character within this element or any of
its descendants..."
What bothers me, I guess, is that the child <tspan> can end, but it still
has an impact on the subsequent characters of the parent element. This
happens almost nowhere else in SVG; when a child element ends, its
attributes normally are not visited upon the parent.
