Thanks ! It's a very nice filter in GIMP indeed !

But SVG filters are non destructive and another advantage is that you can combine several filters in one to create powerfull and customizable non destructive custom effects.

You're welcome! I mentioned GIMP's newsprint just as a reference of the needed features (dot shape, resolution, channels, etc) and UI. Using similar sets of features, names and UI distribution would make the SVG filter more familiar for GIMP users and vice-versa.

I know SVG filters are different and of course I'd love to have a non-destructive filter instead of a one-time raster effect. Well, I'd love to have non-destructive filters in GIMP too, but that's far in the GEGL horizon. ;-)
