Well, because it doesn’t (depending what you see as clipping path). The spec says:

“"
The clip-rule property only applies to graphics elements that are contained within a <clipPath> element.
“"

As an example (from the spec):

  <clipPath id="MyClip">
    <path d="..." clip-rule="evenodd" />
  </clipPath>

Here the clip-rule property applies to the <path> element. The meaning of clip-rule even odd is the same as for fill-rule (also in the spec).
