By "filter bitmap" I mean the intermediate bitmap used for SourceGraphic etc.  For axis aligned content it is easy, but if the element has a transform, it is not so straightforward.

I actually planned to discuss that in a different threat. I agree with you on that and invite implementers to give feedback on how they estimate the affected area in screen coordinates. I will do so for WebKit shortly.

I never really experimented with filters in IE so far. I wonder how that works with gaussian blur and a horizontal blur radius on a rotated object. Is the blurring following the rotation or does it stay in the horizontal position?
