LPEs are limiting in a way that they impose single style for the output path. That's not too bad for the PAP effect (contrary to e.g. Interpolation). However, for real, usable brushes you would want to read input device characteristics such as pen pressure and velocity, and affect color, opacity etc. In terms of SVG markup that would mean storing style for each copy of a brush primitive.
