[DS] Yes, backwards compatibility is important. Do I understand your comment correctly that you also don't want to add compositing modes to feBlend? In this case I suggest a new attribute called composite = "true | false" (I would like to have a boolean attribute but that needs changes on SVG2.... lets see if we get that before LC.)


This was discussed at this mornings telcon, but just for closure:
Yes you do understand me correctly =)
I don't think adding compositing operators to feBlend would be useful if the implementation is going to be different than the compositing and blending spec (because the double contribution of the backdrop needs to be retained for src-over).

And on that note, I think it would be a good idea to add a note to Filter Effects explaining that the double contribution of the backdrop will occur if 'no-composite' is enabled.
