An SVG which triggers the issue.

I've noticed when running an svg through the validator, it tells me that in2 is
a required attribute for feComposite.

After reading the appropriate parts of the spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/filters.html#feCompositeIn2Attribute), it appears to
be defined to inherit its default from `in', in which case it is not required,
and has defined behaviour (namely considering the immediately preceding filter
primitive's result to be the input). This seems to be the conclusion that
implementors have drawn, since implementations handle it this way as well.

As you can see though, it isn't that way according to the validator.
