I'd really, really, really like path effects to be implemented as extensions.
Part of my plan was to beg you to make this jive with extensions. :-) We will eventually need much of the same sorts of infrastructure anyway, effects database, dynamic loading etc.
I realize that this is a little chatty. I'm counting on gzip to fix that ;)
I think Andy and various others will have a problem with the chattyness, but then again they will also likely be saving finished compacted work as plain svg anyway.
But, seriosuly, it works with the code that already does parameters for extensions and it provides doing multiple effects. I think the only downside is that you can't include the same path effect twice with different parameters. If we want to do that, I think we'll have to go with child nodes.
I hadn't thought about using one effect multiple times, but we will probably desire that someday.
