There was an issue on w3c/fxtf-drafts#383 about this.
We discussed about it on the SVG WG today
w3c/svgwg#1111
RESOLUTION: Suggestion to CSS WG: Remove possibility for filters to reference other filters. Remove the SVG URI DOM interface as well.
The current editors are @dirkschulze and @chrishtr
Clone of the issue:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="filter">
<feFlood flood-color="green"/>
<feComposite in2="SourceAlpha" operator="atop"/>
</filter>
<filter id="chained" href="#filter"/>
<rect x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" filter="url(#filter)"/>
<rect x="120" y="10" width="100" height="100" filter="url(#chained)"/>
</svg>
The filter spec is now at
https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/
As mentioned in https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/single-page.html#changes-filters
The filter element
https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/#FilterElement
href is not defined as an attribute on this element.
the DOM interface indicates
https://drafts.csswg.org/filter-effects-1/#InterfaceSVGFilterElement
SVGFilterElement includes SVGURIReference;
which is itself:
interface mixin SVGURIReference {
[SameObject] readonly attribute SVGAnimatedString href;
};
