We could do that for our own filters, but any random custom filter could 
run into the same issue, so it might not make sense to upgrade the 
existing filter mechanism to always attempt to do MR filtering.  We 
could either create a parallel set of MR-aware filter mechanisms (such 
as the previously suggested new method on Toolkit, or a new MR-aware 
version of FilteredImageSource for instance) and leave the existing 
mechanism as clearly documented as MR-unaware.  Another idea is to tag a 
filter with an interface that indicates that it is MR aware?  In any 
case, some thought needs to be given to feeding an MR image to a filter 
that (potentially or demonstrably) cannot deal with MR images.

Alternately, we could then recommend that the old image filtering code 
isn't combined with multi-resolution images.  It seems to me that the 
programmer is mostly in control over this happening since they've either 
manually created the MR image using the custiom MR image mechanism or 
they've supplied media with multiple resolution files (i.e. "@2x").  Is 
that really the case?

Whether it is a new filtering mechanism that must be adopted or simply 
declaring the old filtering mechanism as "obsolete with respect to MR 
images"...

That recommendation then "restricts forward" in that, for example, since 
Swing relies on the old mechanism, Swing then becomes "not recommended 
for use with MR images", or "not MR aware".  That's probably not a 
restriction we want to promote so it should be viewed as a temporary 
restriction reality and a bug that we'll fix soon, whether by using some 
other mechanism to achieve the desired affects, or creating a new 
MR-aware filtering mechanism and using it in Swing.

Similarly, other 3rd party libraries that accept images and do anything 
more than display them will have to be upgraded as well before they 
become "MR aware" or "MR accepting" or whatever term applies here...
