Re which properties currently have image-vs-element ambiguities: Marker does not accept a plain image type, so there's no ambiguity there. [Ambiguous URL properties I've noted](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#processingURL-validity) that are currently supported in at least some browsers are `mask` and `cursor`; although we've deprecated the SVG `<cursor>` element, it's still supposed to be supported by user agents. The new SVG text layout also makes `shape-inside` and `shape-subtract` ambiguous. In other words, `mask` should be the main focus for web compatibility issues. If no browsers currently support external file mask element references, that could be an argument for making special rules for same-document fragments. However, I think the more powerful argument is that `mask-image` is a new & still experimental property, that [is not supported un-prefixed in any stable browsers](http://caniuse.com/#search=mask), while mask with element references is well supported in SVG. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/383#issuecomment-248019636 using your GitHub account
