Indeed, good catch --- although it doesn't really matter which order you
apply 'clip', 'clip-path' and 'mask', it does matter whether you apply
'clip' before or after 'filter'. I've updated the proposal to indicate that
all SVG effects are applied after CSS properties such as 'clip'.

Sure. I guess we'll still want this document as well, but that's fine.

True, but I'm going to leave that alone for now anyway. For one thing I'm
not sure how it would work, since transforms aren't elements in SVG so we
can't reference them the same way as the other effects.

That would be interesting, but I'm mainly interested in them for non-SVG
content right now.
