dirkschulze has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "SVG Native": == [svg-native] Decide whether reusable graphical elements are needed == SVG 2 defines following primitives for creating reusable graphics: - `<pattern>` - `<marker>` - `<symbol>` - `<use>` - `<linearGradient href="...">` - `<radialGradient href="...">`. Some of those elements are already discussed in https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/671 and https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/670, but I think the broader question that needs to be answered first is: **are they adding any value when it comes to rendering performance, file read/write performance, security or interoperability?**. If not, then I would get rid of them altogether just like it has been done with all the text elements. See https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/689
