It was just a quick job to show that the claim that Xara was deficient relative to Inkscape was in fact false.
Xhris using those filters mean they are no longer Vectors.
While Craquelure comes with Xtreme, the Alien skin bevel does not (Bevel Boss does, but only as a demo)
I think the point Ivan is making, is that SVG is a vector throughout whereas applying Craquelure immediately creates a bitmap .


Edit: Oh, I see you changed your post while I was posting and checking Xtreme .
So yes, you need third party purchased plugins which again create Raster results.
So not 'apparently' invisible after all
