<glyphRef> was dropped from SVG 2.[1] So, now that bug 1260032 removed support for <altGlyph>, <glyphRef> should also be removed.

How can we drop support for something we've never supported in the first place?
In the files related to the patch for bug 1260032[1] I saw several places where "glyphRef" is defined. And dxr shows[2] even more places.

Just web platform tests and a small amount of parser support. It doesn't amount to anything functional.
Ok, so maybe this bug could be used to remove those parts.
Or, if you think they should be kept for some reason, feel free to mark it as WONTFIX or INVALID.
