[svgwg] clip property in the SVG2 spec (#1098)

karlcow has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== clip property in the SVG2 spec ==
There are still two instances of the clip property in the SVG 2 spec, though the requirement to remove it and to rely on clip-path is explicitly mentioned in the spec changelog:

> "Removed requirement for clip property support."

And it's not in the table for presentation attributes, where `clip-path` is:

In https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/single-page.html#render-EstablishingStackingContex

> the element is subject to explicit clipping:
> * the [clip](https://drafts.fxtf.org/css-masking-1/#propdef-clip) property applies to the element and it has a computed value other than auto

In  https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/single-page.html#coords-BoundingBoxes

> If the [clip](https://drafts.fxtf.org/css-masking-1/#propdef-clip) property applies to the element and does not have a value of auto, then set box to be the tightest rectangle in coordinate system space that contains the intersection of box and the rectangle specified by [clip](https://drafts.fxtf.org/css-masking-1/#propdef-clip).

Is it still supported across browsers and editors?
