Hi, Robert Longson discovered in [1] that foreignObject is neither a 'graphics element' nor a 'container element' in svg at the moment. The consequence being that some properties that normally apply to rendering elements don't apply to foreignObject, such as 'filter', 'mask' and 'clip-path' to name just a few. I think this is an oversight that should be corrected, most implementations do apply these properties to foreignObject already (as if it was a 'graphics element'), see [2] and [3]. Proposal: Make foreignObject a graphics element. Rationale: Making foreignObject a container element would imply that it can contain other graphics elements and container elements as direct children, which may be ok technically, but I'd consider it bad practice.
