Re: [svgwg] Allow nesting filters instead of using 'in', 'in2' and 'result' attributes

In case there are more children than the defined number of inputs 
allowed, the excessive child elements would be ignored. But you're 
right, there is no indication how many elements they take.

The inconsistency of filters like `<feMerge>`, which already allow 
child filter elements, is another reason to allow them for all 
filters. But yes, allowing to add the filter elements directly to 
`<feMerge>` instead of having to use the indirection of 
`<feMergeNode>` would be great.

> This also doesn't allow for branching / re-joining filter 
structures, so you'd still need the attribute naming option for that.

Yes, this and backwards compatibility are the reasons why they need to
 be kept.

> But it's definitely a topic worth discussing. I can leave this issue
 open here for that, but if it eventually narrows to a specific 
proposal the FXTF repo is the place for the feature request, since 
it's a shared spec now.

Ah right, sorry for that. I just thought that it only affects the SVG 
part of the module, so I should file the issue here.
