Sounds good.

That behaviour predates the integration with CSS Images so it can be 
dropped (especially since the prose that describes how it works got 
accidentally removed when clip-paths were added!)

We probably need to revisit the paint sources section of CSS4 Images[1] 
though since "Paint sources have an intrinsic width, height..." doesn't 
quite seem accurate for gradients and solid colors.
