If the latter, why did the Working Group > decide to go to Last Call? The names. E.g., 'slice' suggests that the image is clipped, but in fact it will overflow by default. (The 'overflow' property determines clipping.) A name like 'cover' (as in "cover the whole box") might be clearer. But we are still thinking about it. In SMIL, where these keywords are taken from, 'overflow' and 'fit' are combined into one atribute and an image that overflows its box is impossible. Therefore it might be better to use a name that is different from SMIL's name and that describes the effect more clearly.
