Is there a Filters draft that explains how images are used in filters? I thought CSS Filters were going to use SVG functionality. Doesn't SVG have it's own way of generating gradients that is as complex as anyone could ever want?

There is not yet a draft for such, though I believe that one will be
forthcoming relatively soon.

functionality of SVG filters in a functional manner, so that you can
provide source images and pass them through filters (these source
images may be actual images or discrete layers of elements, like all
the backgrounds or all the text or whatever).
