Agenda request: image-rendering: crisp-edges

There appears to be a great demand among Inkscape users to be able to
upscale bitmaps without introducing blurring. Currently SVG has the
property 'image-rendering' which can take the values

auto | optimizeSpeed | optimizeQuality | inherit

The CSS Image Values and Replacement Content Module Level 4[1] uses the
same property name with the allowed values:

auto | crisp-edges | pixelated

This raises two questions. The first is the appropriation by CSS of the
property with different values from SVG and the second is that it would
be desirable for SVG to allow the new proposed values from CSS.

Some browsers (Mozilla, Opera) already support the value 'crisp-edges'
for HTML (but not SVG). Webkit supports the concept but with a different
value name. IE supports the concept with a different property.[2]
