That can change, due to scrolling, resizing, dragging, animating, etc., and you'd want the blurring to continue to blur whatever is behind it. >> >> Yes, since this is all declarative, the effect should look correct if the content or its backdrop change.

(And that might change by transforming elements or scrolling.) The effect is of course limited to the background size and position of the element. This gets you exactly the possibility to blur or blend the areas that are exactly behind your element. I don't think this is to primitive though. > > So, is the area of the backdrop that is filtered rectangular, or is it the shape of the content you draw? > SVG's backgroundimage primitive will pull in a rectangular area so if you want it to just affect the content, you'd have to calculate the coverage of the element and use that as a mask/clip I suppose we would use the "background painting area", which indeed is rectangular.
