All those elements could be replaced with other more basic (and verbose) constructs. For example a `<pattern>` based bitmap texture fill effect could be achieved with an `<image>` which is clipped by a `<clipPath>` or has an alpha channel which imitates a clipping mask. It looks like the main advantage of those elements is better semantics and decreased markup repetition. I'm not really sure whether this is enough to justify their inclusion in the SVG Native format, especially considering the fact that `<text>` is not included. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jarek-foksa Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/689#issuecomment-490953317 using your GitHub account
