Intent to ship: CSS mask-type property

[Dirk Schulze]

As of August 29 I intend to turn the CSS mask-type property on by default on all platforms. It has been developed behind the layout.css.masking.enabled preference.

The feature implementation was done with the following bug report : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793617

WebKit and Blink implement mask-type as well and ship it since Chrome 24 and Safari 7.


Articles and documentations about mask-type can be found here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mask-type
http://mcc.id.au/blog/2012/12/mask-type


The specification is CSS Masking Level 1, currently in CR.

I’ll upload the patch for shipping here:

Greetings,
Dirk

Sounds good to me. The feature is small and self-contained, and has
been shipping without a flag in WebKit and Blink for more than a year.
