So if you wanted to clip the filter input image to the subregion you'd  
need an additional filter primitive, e.g feOffset, to do it - that may be  
undesirable.

Would being able to control the filter primitive region clipping be  
something worth having? E.g a new attribute regionClip = [ input | output  
| input-output ].
