I really should have paid more attention to this earlier, apologies. Anyway, this is a major breaking change from 1.1, namely specifying an actual clone. I get that aligning with Shadow DOM is a nice idea, but <use> was always supposed to be a 'effective' clone, not an actual one. i.e. it's supposed to be a DAG primitive, not a templating mechanism. As far as I recall, Ikivo, Presto, Abbra and I believe Edge use a DAG approach for rendering. A large number of bugs in webkit/Blink/Gecko are unfortunate side-effects from implementing an actual cloning mechanism, and then trying to keep the clones all in sync when the referenced tree changes. It'd be nicer to have a new element if you want to create true clones IMO, or just not break it:-) -- GitHub Notification of comment by adanilo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/pull/206#issuecomment-234433954 using your GitHub account
