I'm a web developer and i have found out today that FilterRes will soon be removed from the SVG Specs.
Just wanted to say that for me as a developer it would be a disaster if you remove FilterRes.
FilterRes is being extremely useful for me. Thanks to it my app works correctly. In my app i have images that have a small Width tag and are scaled with css transform scales.
SVG Effects are applied to them and i need to apply them at the maximum resolution without changing the Width tag value, so the width tag has to be kept small but the effect has to be applied in high res. This is only possible as far as i know by using FilterRes and in fact i have already implemented it and it works wonderfully.
If you get rid of FilterRes this will be a disaster at least for me.
I think flexibility is important, I wonder why would you want to remove the possibility of allowing developers to set the resolution of the rendering of filters, i would think that not only me but other developers will need this either now or in the future. I hope you can reconsider the removal of FilterRes.  Or at least please provide an alternative please, i need to be able to set the rendering resolution of SVG filters regardless of the value of the HTML Width tag. 
Thank you very much for your help 

RESOLUTION: Remove filterRes from Filters spec, with a note pointing out why it was removed.
