@anandthakker raised a question today about if it is safe for circle blur to be greater than one. The spec is a bit unclear here as it only explains what the effect of 1 should be, leaving both < 1 and > 1 to be unclear.

Optional number. Defaults to 0.
Amount to blur the circle. 1 blurs the circle such that only the centerpoint is full opacity.

Looking into mapbox-gl-js circle-blur doesn't seem to be getting windowed which leads me to assume it is ok if it is greater than one. Is this right?

Either way we should update the spec to clear this kind of question up. The other blur's are in pixels, rather than an alpha channel.
