Perhaps something like this is what you have in mind accomplishing:

I've made your triangle black and put it in a mask with a big white rectangle 
underneath.... I had to mess with coordinates a bit to get it all to line up. 
The mask is then applied to your group. In this way masks can be tricked into 
acting like inverse clip-paths.

  Hi David,

  > I'm not sure if I quite understand your scenario

  Please see my simplified use case http://skibob.dobruska.cz/other/clip.svg -
  I'd like to have that triangle transparent. It is impossible to do it with a
  single path (with multiple contours) as I need different fill styles of
  individual objects. 

  > While there has been some discussion of clipping paths with inversed
  functionality (I don't know if the SVG WG has taken up the issue or not --
  though it would make sense) -- in the meantime, we do have <mask> that
  enables that and more.

  Masking makes graphics semitransparent, I am not sure if this would help in
  my case.
  Any idea?

  Regards,
  Jan
