As described further above, these are two different features we're talking  
about.
Just try and make an SVG in Inkscape that uses blurring (or find one on  
the internet -- the Wikipedia entry to "SVG" has some), and then import it  
into LO 3.4 and into OOo 3.4 beta. You'll see the difference.

Actually there was much confusion in the OOo Issue tracker about this.  
Many feature requests for embedding were marked as duplicates of the  
conversion feature request, so it took all the way from 2003 until now to  
finally not only sort it out but also implement it, and I was waiting very  
impatiently.


I think there's a general problem with office software and vector graphics  
(not just in Open/LibreOffice), and the only package that gets it  
completely right to my knowledge is LaTeX, even though that works only for  
EPS.
