Added note - we've been calling these 'filters' since that's what they are, but unfortunately we can't use that term because 'filter' has a specific and completely unrelated meaning in SVG. 'script' is better, although note that these kind of tools could also be written in compiled languages, so maybe there's a better term?
I was thinking that script would refer to the implementation and filter would be refering to what role it plays in the application. So a filter would be like drop shadow, but something that uses the ill2svg.pl file would be a script also.
I agree that we need to change the term filter, atleast in the menu if nothing else. How about "Effect"?
