No, but there's no problem in supporting both, other than being 
non-conformant to the limitation on the filter property to taking <uri>, 
none or inherit.  The actual value space does not overlap at all.

So whilst I agree that it can't be ignored, there's no problem, if you've 
decided to implement non-standard properties, a minor extension of the range 
of a CSS-property, that causes no problems isn't going to cause sleepless 
nights.
