SVG Compositing Specification
Hi,
The SVG Compositing Specification has been published:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGCompositing/
This specification adds quite a few new compositing modes. Note, this is not yet an approved standard but is in the process of "last call" which is a period of time interested persons can comment on the specification. Comments can be submitted until April 12th 2011.

I looked at it a while ago, and I love it, but do you know whether there are any plans for "backporting" some of these new operations to filters?

Jasper, that question would be best asked on the www-svg@...157...
The comment that you love it would be good to post there too :) especially especially if your email includes the word "because".

"Everaldo: OK, in the beginning I used Corel Draw 9, running in Linux and gimp, but as Corel stopped developing corel for Linux and version 9 did not have a good support for SVG, I moved to adobe illustrator, which up to this moment proved to be the best software to draw vetorial graphics in SVG and photoshop replaced gimp. Unfortunately the SVG generated by illustrator is not a 100% compatible with KDE. The problem is the transparency modes "multiply" and "hard light" are not understood by KDE, they are very useful and needed for the creation of light and shadow in my icons."
That was in 2004. Seven years later we are finally close to having this bloody nuisance fixed.
