It's no easier or more difficult for them to use effects that are implemented by browser authors in a browser than to use effects that are implemented by some third party in a BSD-licensed SVG library that they use. They have to learn the syntax for either one just the same way. The difference is that if authors can effectively write CSS libraries that expose new and exciting functionality via SVG or some other technology without waiting on the browser implementers to catch up, authors will have access to a much broader array of features in the long term. Effort by browser implementers to implement generic functionality rather than narrow ones will be paid back a hundredfold and should be encouraged.
