Thus spake Daniel Glazman: > Not for the moment in a single property as shown. But I agree with you > it could be very useful... It would be useful if you could conditionalize its application based on whether the display is set for 24-bit or better color. Otherwise you're asking for gross banding or legibility-killing dithering. This is analogous to justified text: unless you know that a quality hyphenation algorithm is implemented and active in the UA, asking for justification is asking for ugly word- and letter-spacing. I'm not against the idea: I'm for the supporting idea: support for a set of rendering environmental variables. This seems like a prerequisite for many more advanced style features such as multicol layout, where the ability to query the viewport aspect, resolution, and typographical metrics in a common unit system would be critical. __________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:todd@lowbrow.com http://www.verso.com/agitprop/
