Hi all,

    There is an important attribute name conflict in 11.9
"Filter Region extensions".

    This adds the attributes 'dx', 'dy', 'dw', 'dh' to all
filter primitives, but feOffset already has 'dx', 'dy'.
I would suggest renaming the new attributes:

    'extendX', 'extendY', 'extendW', 'extendH' - or -
    'mx', 'my', 'mw', 'mh' (m = margin)

    Also I was wondering if the WG would consider having
these attributes 'override' x/y/width/height.  So if
'mx' is set 'x' goes to '0' in objectBoundingBox.

    Otherwise, someone needs to set at least _eight_
attributes to correctly use the new feature.  You
might also consider adding a new filterRegionUnits
value of 'none' which would cause the old filter region
values to be ignored (then you only need to set 5 :/).
