Are > you suggesting instead that they are available in images values and filters? Yes, all existing filters should remain, as SVG filters. In the CSS syntax, they're accessible simply by the url() function. However, the filters that are just image servers, like feTurbulence, won't get a facelift as CSS functions in the Filters spec; instead, they'll be part of the Image Values spec, which is the correct place to define new image servers in CSS. (Their current existence as SVG Filters appears to be a historical accident, possibly as a result of SVG not quite unifying its notion of what an image server is.) ~TJ
