I've implemented some experimental features for applying SVG effects to HTML. In particular, SVG 'filter', 'clip-path', and 'mask' properties are made applicable to non-SVG content and SVG paint servers can be used as CSS backgrounds. These are described with examples in my blog: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2008/06/applying_svg_ef.html http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2008/07/svg_paint_serve.html There are also links to experimental Firefox builds supporting these features. I've written up a draft specification for these features: http://people.mozilla.com/~roc/SVG-CSS-Effects-Draft.html I'd greatly appreciate any comments. One thing I'm not sure about is where this specification should live. Obviously it's right in between two working groups :-). Another thing I'm interested in resolving is how we should expose these in Gecko releases; using a vendor prefix would be more annoying than usual because I've created no new properties here (in fact, no new syntax at all). One thing that's obviously missing here is transformations. I don't think there's any value in linking to SVG for those. Instead I support CSS-based transformations like Apple's proposal (at least its 2D subset). (In fact someone is actually working on implementing that for Gecko.) Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
