Support dominant-baseline in text element in SVG
<text style="dominant-baseline:text-before-edge" ..> is supported in all major browsers but edge to allow vertically aligning text in SVG.

This will never happen, guys. Microsoft hates SVG. Always has. Irrational but there you go.
If you use SVG, use browser detection and display a popup message advising the user where to download a real browser. Or get an email link so they can view the site on their phone, or at home.

Strange one to omit - vertical alignment is quite essential in SVG.

MDN references:
dominant-baseline: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/dominant-baseline
alignment-baseline: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/alignment-baseline

SVG is becoming more and more commonplace in web development, especially with animations. It's insane that IE11/Edge still do not support dominant-baseline or alignment-baseline.

I do not know how to center my text without this property,... everything else is a hack

+1'd,
Here is another link regarding this issue. https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/801719
Not being able to layout text nodes with vertical alignment greatly hinders many SVG charting libraries being cross browser compatible.
