one limitation of the Kasdin-Walter method is that it is "batch mode", 
and doesn't lend itself to an implementation which is continuous.

The paper does have a nice discussion of why the "white noise into a 
filter" technique doesn't work very well if the slopes you need aren't 
integer powers of frequency. Integer powers in frequency correspond to 
rational functions in filter characteristics, which are straightforward, 
but how do you make a 1.5th order filter section or half a pole or zero?

The fractal literature, though, may provide mechanisms that might be 
useful.
