Implementung my own suggestion for an alternative approach to 3d edges (the bloodsplat discussion), I came up with the attached (screen shot).
Basically you take your shape. Maybe add more nodes. Then colour each internode based on its angle relative to the illumination angle.
So far all my effect does is the above, handling the grouping, bluring, and clipping as well would be nice, but I don't know the API that well, and am just doing everything by reverse engineering.
Where could I put the code?

At least two questions... I did not fully follow the Blood Splat stain discussion very well, but I have a local archive so I can check it out... Anyway, how did you color each section of the border of the (I assume) second shape, how do you color a section between nodes? Also what version of Inkscape was this done in, 0.45.1 or the development version for 0.46? I'm trying to have a two colored border, but thus far I don't know how to do that (which would then be passed through your extension), but the critical part of coloring each section is proving to be rather challenging. Thanks in advance for any pointers or hints.
