It would be some amount of work to make clip-path: url(#shape) work when
#shape is in a contain:strict element. However, it would also be some
amount of work to make sure that clip-path: url(#shape) does NOT work when
#shape's nearest contain:strict ancestor is not the nearest contain:strict
ancestor of the styled element (which I assume is what you'd really want).
I'm not sure the former is much more work than the latter.
