Well, recall that this property value was introduced unilaterally by one browser, meant for internal usage but exposed to the wider web, without any spec whatsoever nor particular effort on the part of that browser's engineers to specify it. Sometimes that sort of thing still works out quickly when others do the legwork, but sometimes it falls thru the cracks. This is particularly the case when the feature itself is bad, as this one is. (The *use-case* is great, but the way this feature solves it is bad, as it fails inaccessibly - if the image doesn't load, you're left with unreadable transparent text.) The only reason we're specifying it *at all* is that it's used widely enough on the public web that browsers need to support it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9907#issuecomment-1930785584 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
