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

== [svg-native] support xlink:href on gradients ==
The `xlink:href` attribute on `<linearGradient>` or `<radialGradient>` is ignored right now. We should consider keeping it.

Without support for `objectBoundingBox`, referencing other gradients is straight forward.

The `xlink:href` is mainly used to share color stops between multiple gradients. W/o `objectBoundingBox` this is even more important. Otherwise SVG files blow up a lot.
