Well... if the option "Show Bounding Client Rectangle" is selected,
then it shows data. Otherwise, it does not.

But anyway, if the option is off then it shows offsets and uses
element.offset* which results in nothing, and height/width of NaN.

With the option on it shows the bounding rectangle and uses
element.getBoundingClientRect() -- but the values are wrong.

Looking at the svg of a circle here:
http://math.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimathandmathmlsvg.xhtml

      <svg:svg width="50px" height="50px">
        <svg:circle cx="25px" cy="25px" r="20px" fill="green"/>
      </svg:svg>

It says it has a width and height of 40px. Using Firebug to change the
height/width settings has no effect on the getBoundingClientRect call.

Strange...
