Hi WebKit folks,

The CSS WG and SVG WG agreed to work on a CSS Masking specification [1]. 
Basically the spec aims to specify the behavior of 
-webkit-mask/-webkit-box-mask on WebKit browsers and SVG Mask/ SVG ClipPath on 
Firefox.

I would like to implement the specification in the next weeks and months. Since 
masking and clipping are basic operations that use the existing capabilities in 
all graphic libraries, and sine we are using it heavily internally in WebKit 
already, I do not plan to introduce a new compiler flag. 

However, some features will be covered by existing compiler flags like SVG Mask 
and SVG ClipPath, allowing to disable these parts.

I created a master bug that covers the work [2].

Greetings,
Dirk
