Clamping is necessary because the SVG specification explicitly requires it. The 
undefined results are a separate issue. I've now patched Mozilla to clamp the 
focal point, but we will still get strange rendering if the focal point ends up 
being *on* the circumference of the outer circle. That requires a fix in cairo.
