[svgwg] Issue: Define a vector-only processing mode marked as Needs WG input

AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as
 "Needs WG input":

== Define a vector-only processing mode ==
Various tools that use SVG files, such as cutting machines, cannot 
render pixel manipulations (filters, masks, bitmap images).

Since we're defining spec conformance in terms of processing mode, it 
would be nice to have a category that included all vector operations 
but not pixel operations.

As a start, I'd think anything that would have an effect on a 
`<clipPath>` should be supported.  If we limited it to that, we could 
describe the clip path result as the output of processing the child 
content in this mode.

However, patterns  and solid color fill & stroke would also be 
relevant for some vector-only user agents, even if they do not have an
 in clipping paths.
