AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "SVG Native":

== [svg-native] Consider adding masking support ==
It's used in artwork, but has a considerable implementation complexity. It can't really be emulated using any other facility.

It often has to be implemented by rendering the mask into an offscreen buffer. Rendering to this offscreen buffer might be difficult if the pixel density of the resulting image isn't uniform (e.g. with transforms).
