Should be of course implemented in Inkscape ! It could also render obsolete some BoolOps LPE while beeing perhaps much lighter.
I completely agree about it should be implemented in Inkscape (just another thing to narrow the gap with commercial products that already have the capability). I think that vector effects (as well as most other 1.2 proposed stuff) has not been implemented due to the bad previous experience with jumping on flowtext. However, that doesn't change my mind that it should be pursued sooner rather than later, we just need to properly namespace proposed things when implementing. :)
The problem with that is that we need to keep the finally rendered version and the intermediates in that namespace -- basically like the LPEs do already. I think it makes the most sense to keep them as LPEs until the SVG committee finalizes the standard.
