Summary
Remove articles about SVG elements
<hatch>and<hatchpath>which are non-standard and as far as I know were never implemented by any browser.Motivation
Just trying to keep MDN focused on features which really exist.
Supporting details
SVG elements
<hatch>and<hatchpath>were removed from SVG spec in 2018 with statement "Deferred hatch and hatchpath elements to a future version of SVG."MDN has a test/demo here. The demo does not work, of course.
According to my personal (not informed) opinion, these elements are not likely to be ever implemented, since developers already can create hatch patterns with
<path>,<pattern>and<mask>. Perhaps, we could ping someone knowledgeable?Related issues
