How about we don't and say we did?
Really, that seems a little too complicated. How about "foreground-"
properties (equivalent to the "background-" properties) like
"foreground-image" and "foreground-attachment" for text masking effects.
They would be simpler to use and a hell of a lot more flexible.
Still, a _simple_ gradient-fill property wouldn't be a bad idea. Just
having all of those options would make a conforming browser fill up a 9G
hard drive. And what about somebody who thinks of a style he/she wants
to use that isn't in your list? Bitmaps are bad news, stay away.
