Except IE's filters were an unrelated proprietary technology with an ugly syntax:

  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Blur(pixelradius=2);

compared to

  filter: blur(2px);

Actually the first syntax was introduced in IE 5.5. The second is very similar to the IE4 syntax, so why not make it compatible?

GLSL isn't exactly beautiful all the time...

You can always write this in IE.

    filter: Blur(pixelradius=2);
