Re-opening because there seems to be some confusion about this.

For the record, here's how the major browsers are currently working:
Chrome Canary - {height: 100, width: 100, y: 100, x: 100}
Firefox Nightly - {height: 100, width: 100, y: 100, x: 100}
IE10 - {height: 100, width: 100, y: 100, x: 100}
Opera next: {height: 100, width: 100, y: 150, x: 150}

It looks like Cr/FF/IE are returning the bbox of the referenced element whereas Opera is returning the bbox of the the rendered content. I think Opera might be the most intuitive. I do not think {height: 100, width: 100, y: 50, x: 50} makes sense.

In particular, we (Chrome, IE) seem inconsistent in the multiple-use case:
<html>
<body>
<svg width="500" height="500">
  <rect id="rect" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" opacity="0.5" fill="green"/>
  <use id="use" xlink:href="#rect" x="50" y="50" />
  <use id="use2" xlink:href="#use" x="200" y="200" />
</svg>
<script>
  console.log(document.getElementById('rect').getBBox());
  console.log(document.getElementById('use').getBBox());
  console.log(document.getElementById('use2').getBBox());
</script>
</body>
</html>

@Dirk, should we be adding the x,y offset from the <use> attributes in returning the bbox?
