You mean, well contained besides touching DOMClassInfo and the style
system? I'll look for a relatively quiet time to land it tonight.

Yes, after today. The resources for SVG are low, so things are ready
when they're ready. The filters we want to add since it will complete
the specified SVG 1.1 filters. SVG fonts are a frequently requested
feature, and character positioning is of particular interest to a group
who is working on implementing it.

Patches are in various states of completion for four of these five
items, with the exception being the relatively straightforward
displacement filter.

These changes are isolated to SVG, and given the current schedule are
still acceptable from a risk/benefit point of view by the SVG module
owner (me).
