Currently the spec says "However certain operations that cause the creation of stacking context (such as 3D transforms or a non-default blend mode) [CSS21] will cause a group to be isolated. This behavior is described in more detail in Isolated Gropus." [sic] However, nothing in the spec describes exactly what induces an "isolated group". Also, I think every isolated group needs to be a stacking context since we can't allow two elements in an isolated group to have other content not in the group inserted between them in z-order. So every element that's an isolated group would have to be a stacking context, and every element that's a stacking context would have to be an isolated group, so they're almost exactly the same thing. Except that SVG images rendered in CSS or via <img> are also isolated groups. If we do that, I think we can probably implement this in our compositor. For every element that requires non-standard blending with the background, we'd find the nearest ancestor stacking context, which induces an isolated group on that element. We'd tell the compositor about those isolated groups, and it would then be able to compute the backdrops for blended elements within these groups. Needs more thought though. If that works, I think we should make the CSS/SVG filters "BackgroundImage" value be evaluated the same way and dispense with "enable-background". Also, it fits better with our priorities to experiment with this as part of CSS/SVG filters instead of implementing CSS blending and compositing right away.
