We discussed at the F2F this week the 'mask-type' property, and we decided not to allow it to be specified on arbitrary elements to affect how a mask that applies to that element would be interpreted. (Instead, we have "luminance" and "alpha" keywords in the 'mask' property itself.) Instead we decided to make 'mask-type' only apply to <mask>. This is in place of the current maskType="" attribute on <mask>. I was just implementing this, and I wondered whether it really makes sense for it to be a property. I don't think there are really any use cases for using style sheets to change how a <mask> element is interpreted. I think therefore we should stay with a plain attribute on <mask>, but perhaps call it something other than maskType="", just to avoid the camel-casing issues that Simon brought up. I think type="" would work fine.Received on Wednesday, 19 September 2012 22:03:14 GMT
