* '''Filters:''' Currently our SVG implementation supports all but two filters from the specification - feDisplacementMap ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389746 bug 389746]) and feImage ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390379 bug 390379]). We would like to have all filters to make life easier for content developers. This is a new element which didn't involve altering other codepaths, so the risk of it causing problems outside feImage is very minimal.
