Description Philip Jägenstedt 2021-06-07 03:40:02 PDT 
These two attributes on SVGSVGElement are gone from the spec:
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/commit/4c26fd36937a65192024208d85c144a21071b057
https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/3800?changelog

They were removed from Chromium here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=629445

Gecko doesn't have currentView, but the bug for removing useCurrentView is here:

That has a patch I wrote 6 years ago and didn't land. :-)

Anyway, yes these are a straightforward removal.

We have following as well: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/747

To revert these changes, I tried to do this PR: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/13851

but now will look for input before proceeding.

@Said - any input on above GitHub issue.
