My point is that this whole thing of multiple backgrounds seems inconsistent with the rest of CSS, possibly out of scope of CSS, and probably not worth the bloat, confusion, and ripple effects that may result from it. I see it as more likely to be abused for borders than used as intended, and I expect the intended result could be better achieved using a single SVG image for a background. Furthermore, from a pilosophical point, if you have one in front of the other, I'd hesitate to call the front image a background image. > Please, take a read through the existing CSS3 draft documents and see > what's already there.

[see below] > Anyone interested in those ideas > would never be likely to find your posts My intent was to expose the problems with the multiple backgrounds as proposed not being consistent. I'd like to see consistency with other properties. > [1] > http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-border-20021107/#the-border-image-u >ri Yes, this is what I was alluding to. > [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004Nov/0000.html This is overkill, and I saw it before. Consistency would be treating colors and textures interchangably everywhere rather than a new vocablary to describe masks. Enough said. Let's drop it.
