I don't understand. what has been moved out? I still see much about SVG in the draft.

If the image is an SVG, and there is 'mask-source-type: alpha', then doesn't the 'a' of the rgba values in the SVG determine the shape? Given a solid shape against a transparent background in an SVG file, is this not the same as "using shapes from SVG elements"?
