Yes, I can see how regular polygons, in combination with clipPath, could
make some very cool tesslations.

Mind you, you can do that now, you just have to calculate the shapes by hand
(or with a graphical editor).

In SVG1.2, this would be doable, since you will be able to use VectorEffects
to make a single outline stroke for all 3 of the hexagons. However, that may
be overkill... You can do that right now using a polygon (again, calced by
hand), and it would be less computationaly expensive.
