Consider this document: http://people.mozilla.org/~cmccormack/tests/blur.svg The Filters spec (and SVG before it) says the following in the feGaussianBlur section: If the input has infinite extent and is constant (e.g FillPaint, this operation has no effect. The document uses FillPaint as the input to feGaussianBlur, but in Opera at least, the blue rectangular area has blurry edges, because it is (presumably) sampling transparent black outside the source image area. For the operation to have no effect, you would expect the rectangle to have sharp edges, which would imply sampling the FillPaint outside the source image area. The test http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/harness/htmlObjectMiniApproved/filters-overview-01-b.html seems to assume that transparent black is sampled outside the source image area. The spec should be clarified to indicate how to sample around the edges of the source image, and if it should be transparent black, the sentence about having no effect with FillPaint should be changed.
