It's also possible to use feImage to reference a rectangle (or any other shape) that has a gradient applied to it, and use that in the filter chain, e.g <feImage xlink:href="#myRectWithGradient"/> (but note that last I checked that wasn't supported in Firefox, Opera supports it though). I think it might be ok to let feFlood accept gradient references in the future, e.g <feFlood flood-fill="url(#grad)"/> or maybe even <feFlood flood-color="url(#grad)". But this is really something that should be on the public...@w3.org mailinglist, as a feature request.
