Hi SVG WG,

We added the 'maskType' attribute to differ between alpha and luminance masks on the SVG 'mask' element. IIRC we didn't thought about extending the 'mask' property. Since we added the keywords 'alpha' and 'luminance' to the 'mask' property, it seems unnecessary to add a new attribute to the 'mask' element.

Do we want to revert the decision on adding this attribute?

Greetings,
Dirk
