Description
Resources in external SVG documents can be referenced from the filter (filter graphs) and mask-image (<mask> elements) properties. This proposes to allow the same for the clip-path, fill, stroke and marker-* properties.
This has shipped in Gecko for over a decade.
Did you see https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/1012? There's been a couple of recent comments. In general the lack of proper Fetch integration is what is most concerning about these features.

Hadn't seen that one in a while. The <use> case is probably the most interesting one there though - not the cases mentioned here (which could as well be "image" for legacy reasons).
WebKit added support for external SVG resources for filter and mask. And for clip-path we have this bug
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104442. This allows referencing SVG resources from HTML elements through CSS. I think supporting external resources for the rest of SVG resources fill, stroke and marker-* makes sense.
