[filter-effects-1] Should kernelUnitLength be deprecated for feSpecularLighting? #615

Description

@caugner

The kernelUnitLength attribute in Filter Effects Module Level 1 was deprecated for feConvolveMatrix and feDiffuseLighting in b263c59 based on https://www.w3.org/2013/11/15-svg-minutes.html#:~:text=kernelUnitLength:

RESOLUTION: We will keep kernelUnitLength but add a note explaining why it's not great, and that we may have something different in the future.

However, it was not deprecated for feSpecularLighting, and it is not clear (at least to me) if this was intentional or an oversight.

Can you clarify if kernelUnitLength is also deprecated for feSpecularLighting?

(This came up in mdn/browser-compat-data#28178.)

PS: This blink commit from 2015 suggests the deprecation note may be missing from feSpecularLighting.
