IIRC it is defined for HTML Canvas now. But just the graphic library Core Graphics matches the behavior described by Philip Taylor. He also wrote a test that is just passed by Safari, but I couldn't find his example again. The test was not part of his test suite. I suggest not to allow a focal point to get outside of the outer circle because of the different behavior across graphic libraries. Just like SVG is doing it right now. Maybe we should at least harmonize radial gradients with HTML canvas and allow a focal (inner) radius [1] next to the outer radius. I still hope that HTML spec won't allow inner circles to get outside the outer circle later. Dirk [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-context-2d-createradialgradient
