Perhaps we could support assigning an SVG filter directly (as an
object)? Developers would be responsible to load them if they're
external. Adding yet another network API that's a thin layer on top of
some CSS syntax seems a little hackish. I'd prefer if we exposed
filters at a lower level somehow.
