Re: [w3c/webcomponents] [Shadow] How should various document internal references work when SVG is being used in shadow DOM (bugzilla: 27380) (#179)

With the advent of the implementations of Shadow DOM, this needs to be adressed: Devs who are trying to use the Shadow DOM cannot use non-trivial SVG at the same time, because Safari does not implement (or probably rather "actively disables") SVG Use elements inside shadow trees: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174977

They refer to this bug and say that it is because of the missing spec that they cannot implement svg use elements inside shadow doms. 

I disagree, though and agree with @annevk that at least as long as the SVG in question is fully contained inside a shadow tree, it should work just like it would work at the root document level. 
However because of the (missing clarification in the) spec, it does *not* work in Safari. 

Could you please reconsider the priority of this bug? Because without a resolution web developers will either have to make the choice between not using Shadow Dom, not using SVG, and not using Safari. I am sure they will decide not to use Shadow Dom, which would be a pity.
