nikosandronikos has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "DoC_noResponse": == Clarify whether 'filter' attribute is valid for <tspan> elements == There seems to be some confusion over whether you can apply a filter to a `<tspan>` element. The spec states that 'filter' applies to "container elements (except mask) and graphics elements". Technically `<tspan>` is in neither of those categories. The Firefox folks have decided that it does not apply (see [this bug report](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917766)). It partially works in Chrome, [but it is bugged](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=603157). Filters on `<tspan>` elements work in IE. It seems to me that it would be nice if they did work. But either way, I think the filter effects spec should be updated to clarify this point. See https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/103
