Additive Subscription Filters

On LJ I have many filters. 3 of these are literally named Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.

I can then go to a page on LJ that will let me read Primary+Secondary+Tertiary by generating a URL such as:
http://sloot.livejournal.com/friends?filter=537133184

I have read that Subscription Filters are a recent addition (due to extensive security recoding). I assume that the reason I can't find a way to Add filters is because that functionality hasn't been implemented yet. Is that correct?

Yes, filters had to be rebuilt completely because of the split into subscribe and access. If you'd like additive filters, it's probably easiest to suggest them.

Once you set up subscription filters here, you can read them by using the nav bar.

There's a drop down box with:
All Subscriptions
Journals only
communities only
feeds only
any custom filters you wish to create

Edit: you only see this when you are looking at your "read" page

I don't think that's what they're looking for, though. They want a way to view the union of several filters at once (I used to do this all the time, then gave up and went with filter=0).
