Keith, what do you mean under "filtered image transformations" for gradients?
To implement completed SVG support, we need Radial and Linear gradients, each 
can have 2 or more stop points (gradients with several stop points is a very 
nice tool). Each stop point has RGBA value (so, different stop points can 
have different transparency/opacity)
See attached rectangle-gradient-rainbow.svg example which illustrates idea of 
multiple-stop-point gradients.
I'd also vote, if possible, for Conical gradients support - as Adobe 
Illustrator has support for those, as I have been told.

Also: we need filters support (<filter> from SVG specs)
While those filters can be dumb at a moment, unified API with possibility to 
add new filters in the future is a MUST.
