- `<pattern>` Usage of pattern is quite high I think. Apart from its obvious use for repeating fills, there is a common use case where `<pattern>` is used to place images inside shape elements. I think this would be missed if it was removed. - `<marker>` Not sure about this one. It is commonly used, but maybe not in the situations that SVG Native is intended for. - `<symbol>` Has a very similar purpose and function as child `<svg>` elements, which have been removed. I'm not sure what the purpose of removing child `<svg>` elements was. But it any argument for removing one, could equally apply to the other. - `<use>` I think these should stay. They are commonly used and very useful for reducing file sizes. - `<linearGradient href="...">` - `<radialGradient href="...">` - `<pattern href="...">` In my experience, the `href` attribute for these is hardly ever used. It is an obvious candidate for removal. -- GitHub Notification of comment by BigBadaboom Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/689#issuecomment-490912283 using your GitHub account
