@dirkschulze [says](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/657#issuecomment-482778343):
> I'd propose that elements that get referenced should be specified before they get referenced the first time. If they are not, the behavior is unspecified. This makes it easier for SVG viewers that render while they parse. Otherwise the document must be parsed first and it would be required to have an internal DOM. Example:
> - `<rect fill="url(#gradient)/><linearGradient id="gradient"/>` **unspecified**.
> - `<linearGradient id="gradient"/><rect fill="url(#gradient)/>` works.
