This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Draft 21 of the Filter Effects spec describes the contrast function with the following: "Adjusts the contrast of the input. A value of 0% will create an image that is completely black." I think it would be more correct to say this: "Adjusts the contrast of the input. A value of 0% will create an image that is completely grey."
Fixed, Thanks for reporting!
