Re: [svgwg] Since vector-effect options other than non-scaling-stroke already have multiple implementations, is the "at risk" flag valid?

My opinion: drop everything but non scaling stroke. Lighten the burden on user agents, authoring tools, converters, book authors, students, and the WG itself. Keep it simple. In fact, I would not cry if the entire feature were dropped. If this set of functionality can't be achieved easily in Javascript, then better to add better DOM APIs into the spec and/or write a how-to blog post than add automagic features used only a tiny fraction of language users. 

Note that I have had a requirement for a non scaling stroke with SVG1 and found that I could achieve the desired result if I organized my transformations in the right way. It was not difficult.
