But those who do want to use farthest/nearest-side/corner would probably prefer them to be all consistently named. The computed value would just be 'farthest/nearest-side/corner', which could be a problem for round-tripping, but still seems like a reasonable trade-off.

Given the way the syntax discussion turned out, I agree.  Fantasai's
example usage "radial-gradient(from 25px 25px to cover, blue,
transparent)" works just fine if we keep the current definition of
"cover", since the "as" clause defaults to center when omitted.
