While working on open issues for the Backgrounds and Borders module, we came across this old message, which looks like a feature request, but has never had an answer from the WG yet: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006May/0037.html Laurens Holst: > S.F.

This is not an official answer, only the opinion of the editors. We think flipping images does not belong in CSS, certainly not in level 3. There is little demand for it, little interest in implementing it and images can easily be flipped *before* being sent to a UA (a method that works for images outside of CSS, too).
