Just remove the <mask-source> alternative. "mask:url(foo.svg#abc)" gets
parsed to a mask-image value of url(foo.svg#abc). When rendering, since the
mask-image value is a url() with a fragment identifier, it should be
treated as a reference to an SVG <mask>.

Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority
over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave — just
as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” [Matthew 20:25-28]
