You'd lose with shapefiles as well since you can pass logical and regex 
expressions for shapefiles and they should work.

The API gives the impression that it's a key, value combo, but I think 
it's a doc issue, it's really a filteritem/filter combo unless I'm mistaken.

I'd like to hear Steve's opinion on this one.
