Specifying processing model and algorithm for ping and referrerPolicy in SVG a element #1029

Description

@goldenboy777

Chromium is planning to support the hrefLang, type, ping, and referrerPolicy attributes for SVGAElement (Intent to Ship), in alignment with the SVG2 specification.

Following the links related to referrerPolicy in the spec (reference), it states:

These attributes further describe the targetted resource and its relationship to the current document. Allowed values and meaning are as defined for the a element in HTML.

While the expected behaviour of these attributes should mirror that of HTML a elements, there is ambiguity regarding the processing model and algorithms, particularly for ping and referrerPolicy.
This concern has been raised by Chromium API owners and echoed by WebKit contributors (signal discussion).

Should the SVG2.0, be updated to include this information explicitly? Should relevant links corresponding to processing model and algorithm of HTMLAnchorElement be given for that?
