> Alignment-baseline and dominant-baseline attributes are quite useful for ensuring that several text elements are top aligned when the svg is created programmatically, yet Apache Batik does not support them. Even though, there are alternatives like using the dy attribute to obtain a similar effect, they are usually font and size dependant.
> As a consequence, this forces the use of a trial-error approach for adjusting complex layouts requiring a significant amount of time that could be avoided by using those attributes to align the text elements to the top of their container. Therefore, projects like Jasper Reports, which uses this library for rendering SVGs generated from javascript (https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/191#issuecomment-847070399), would highly benefit from the obtained simplification
