Greetings! The current draft of HTML5 [1] says about rendering radial gradients: "This effectively creates a cone, touched by the two circles defined in the creation of the gradient, with the part of the cone before the start circle (0.0) using the color of the first offset, the part of the cone after the end circle (1.0) using the color of the last offset, and areas outside the cone untouched by the gradient (transparent black)." I find this behavior of "transparent spread" rather strange and it doesn't match any of the SVG gradient's spreadMethod [2] options. The sensible behavior here IMO is "pad spread" (SVG default, and what most browsers implementing <canvas> currently do) which means repeating the terminal color stops indefinitely. - Kling [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-context-2d-createradialgradient [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/pservers.html#RadialGradientElementSpreadMethodAttribute
