The number of supported filters grows with every day, and I think we should rethink the UI a bit. The filters dialog developed by Nick is great and powerful, and of course must be there for those who know SVG and are comfortable with all the parameters. But for the rest of us, there must be a simpler way to access the filters. So far such a "simpler way" only exists for blur and blend modes, in the Fill and Stroke dialog. But of course we can't cram all filters there, nor do we need to, because most others are more obscure and less useful.
Just came to my mind, it might be useful to place feComposite modes there in the same dialog box with feBlend modes.
And for the actual idea: yes, having a collection of preconfigured filters sounds like a good idea. Then again, things like dropshadow have plenty parameters (place, amount of blur, shadow colour...) It would be nice to be able to fiddle with them when applying a filter.
