Hello All,

Please allow <g> elements in clip. I've been using it a lot and was  
surprised to hear it is actually not allowed. Otherwise we end up with the  
workaround of having to <use> a group in order to clip it. That is not  
intuitive and leads to author confusion as I am now demonstrating ;-)

Cheers,

Jelle
