So we agree on this part.

What phrase/keyword would you replace "closest-side" with, so that it has an absolutely clear yet succinct meaning.



>>> not consider the side(s) that you've
>>> offset the gradient towards when determining which is closer

Example:
div {
	width: 100px;
	height: 200px;
	radial-gradient(10px 10px, brad-modified-closest-side, red, blue);
}

Do you exclude both the top and the left from "consideration" since you've moved toward both?


I'm still trying to understand how this proposal is at all an improvement, but I'm trying to give it a fair hearing.
