Another question: what should the behavior of the blend/composite/blur controls in the Fill and Stroke dialog be when a complex filter is applied? As mentioned earlier, having the controls simply change the first feBlend or feGaussianBlur in a filter with multiple such primitives might be confusing. On the other hand, it might be less confusing than having those controls disabled when a complex filter is applied.
Wouldn't it suffice to pop-up a warning that a complex filter has been applied before, telling the user that it might be affected? (with a checkbox to no be reminded again of course). If it was the user himself who applied the complex filter then he'll know how to handle this. If on the other hand someone else has been working on the document before and added a complex filter, then the current user is warned that he's messing with something and that he should be carefull. Problem solved! Disabling the blend/blur controls is not good IMHO.
