ED> I have ACTION-2189 to clarify this in the filters spec. In general we have in the past tried to allow zero values in attributes and properties so that animation or script can change the values up to zero (or past, in the case of attributes or properties that allow negative values) without producing a discontinuity or putting the document in an error/undefined state. In this specific case, a simple if..then seems appropriate in the definition. I also agree that one-dimension blurs should be allowed. Especially as gaussian blur is often computed as multiple box blurs, so this falls out nicely as an optimisation. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
