And, while multiple backgrounds can be used for 'curved corner' border effects (as is a popular and desired use right now, amongst others), it's different from a border in that a background is layered underneath the content; a border is by definition restricted to being rendered _around_ the content. There are plenty of potential ideas for layering background images. Please, take a read through the existing CSS3 draft documents and see what's already there. I'm fairly new to www-style (at least as a poster) but I believe it's also ettiquette that you should start new discussions for proposals such as border images and your previous comment on elements sharing the same space (although both of these already exist in drafts, I hope you see my point). These other discussions should be referenced from a discussion like this, rather than dragging somewhat off topic. Anyone interested in those ideas would never be likely to find your posts on the matter as they're now filed under a topic of "Re: Multiple Background Images". I hope you see what I mean. > Of course, if we're going down that road, we might consider allowing images > for > texture wherever color can be used (including text). This one was also discussed recently[2] and is in the mailing list archives for November. Sorry! ;-) (see references below for link).
