I did an experimental change of the element name styling for CSS Masking. See: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/raw-file/default/masking/index.html#MaskElement Please comment what you think about the change.

This does not seem to be very accessible. E.g 'mask' or 'mask' - it is not possible to say if the spec is talking about the property or element without any further clarification. SVG has a different font weight, font size and color for elements to better distinguish between the two types. However, in the absence of CSS styling, this does not really help. The same for screen readers which may not take CSS into account. >> >> fantasia suggest that we specify elements with the tag characters '<' and '>'. Now it is easy and obvious to distinguish between element and property: <mask>, 'mask'. >> >> What do others think? > > +1, that's how everyone in the world talks about elements. > > ~TJ
