The same problem applies to background-position and background-size. Perhaps they have the same solution (whenever that arrives) and presumably it can wait until CSS4+, since this concern didn't hold up the Background module from going to CR in February. > A problem that is both i18n and non-i18n related: what if I want a > circular > gradient whose radius is farthest-side along the inline (or horizontal) > axis? I think I need a rendering to speak to this one.
