filters

filter	Long syntax	Short syntax	notes
alpha	hello IE	hellow	ok
blendTrans	n/a	n/a	Verdict: forget it, it's a transition that needs play() and apply() which often refer to the filter by name and often have the filter as inline `style=""`. Fade (long syntax) can also be substituted with BlendTrans but it has two additional attributes `center` and `overlap`
blur			in IE8 compatible mode short syntax doesn't work. In IE8 mode the long doesn't. Verdict: forget it
chroma	hi Chroma	hola Chroma	ok
