Re: Fw: [css3-background] border-radius color transitions using gradients (recommended but undefined)

With the two rules I've choosen, we get this result :
http://cid-201f3835d49587fe.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Temp%202/CSS%20WG/2010-03-20%20-%20Border-Radius%20Gradient%202.pdf

Please notice that it can apply on the "border-radius: 0px;"
whithout changing the way user agents renders it currently.

I volontary have decided to use a method that would be
continuous and would have highly predicable results. Maybe
we could do better (=beautifuller) but it would be counter
intuitive and would need exceptions for special cases.
