Ok, that would be all references (by url() function) to something else than an CSS Image for CSS Masking and Filter Effects. That can be detected on parse time.

Reading the http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org spec, it seems that is what it tries to do. Is there something need on CSS Masking and Filter Effects? When do you think http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org can be referenced normatively? What should these spec do in the meantime?

According to the logs, you just attended one day [1][2][3]. I couldn't find a discussion about references and resource handling but maybe the minutes are incomplete. I was not in this meeting for myself.
