That is a good argument to stay on that difference. But - when opening 
and we have the possibility by doing this using the same filter as when 
inserting - wouldn't it be better to use that and additionally 'break' 
the SVG?
This would lead to the same 'open' behaviour, guarantee SVG looking the 
same despite of insert/open, deliver better quality and reduce number of 
filters to maintain to one.

Just my 2ct...
