Hi, feDropShadow could be more useful, if the shadow itself is transformable. There are many examples, where shapes are drawn in pseudo-3D by adding a skewed and scaled shadow (see the information panel that can be seen in google maps [1]). This could be done by a transform-attribute, that takes a transformation list as input like every transformable SVG element. The transformation is done relative to the coordinate space of the filter. The attributes 'dx' and 'dy' could be simulated by a simple 'translate(dx, dy)' transformation as part of the transformation list. It might be hard for web-developer to determine the filter primitive clipping area, or the filter region itself for this kind of filter. So it might make sense to find a solution for this problem first.
