No, it is not similar. -webkit-mask-image is just compositing without the intermediate step of luminance.

SVG masks have the unfortunate properties that they require an external mask element and they use luminance instead of alpha to define the mask operation, so I think something like -webkit-mask is also useful. Someone should look at the ways people are using -webkit-mask, then ideally we can extend SVG 'mask' with enough of the -webkit-mask syntax to cover that usage (and for that syntax, mask using alpha instead of luminance); if not I guess we'll have to define a new property with the functionality of -webkit-mask. > > Rob > -- > “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. ...
