Repeating gradient syntax question

 Hi,

In reading the syntax I can't help but feel the way the repeated gradients
work is still a bit long winded and seeminly duplicitive of the non repeat.
I can think of two other, potentially better, ways of writing it in CSS that
would be simpler and clearer.



My preferred method would simply to have a repeat keyword in the syntax, so
the following:

-webkit-repeating-linear-gradient(left, red, green, blue)



Would be written:

-webkit-linear-gradient(left, red, green, blue, repeat)



The other option would be to observe the background-repeat value instead,
seeing as ultimately these gradients are generated background images… but in
this option I can't help but think I'm missing taking into account some kind
of effect you wouldn't be able to do this way.



Thoughts?
