I am not sure what you mean. Can you clarify more please?

> Basic shapes could be a good fit for 'clip-path'. For 'clip-path' we have the 'clip-rule' property which sets the fill-rule. The keyword for the fill-rule on 'polygon()' is optional but nonzero by default. I would like to use the value of the 'clip-rule' property if no keyword was set on 'polygon()'. Is it possible that CSS Exclusions also let other specifications and properties define the clip rule then? E.g.
