I agree too. If we will implement non-solid colored background with
*stretch*
[e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004May/0009.html]
this will cover gradient cases.

Only one: gradient is easy to implement and being implemented it is and will
be popular.
But images for gradient fill are not so good to be compressed effectively.

As you might know IE has gradient feature already.
