It seems to me that the images are likely to be foreground and the whole process is somewhat behavioural. > background-image: url(nextpage.png); > background-image-frame: 0px 0px 10px 10px; I don't like this. It seems, to me, to be supporting a hack. If one wants to support image libraries, I would suggest a better approach would be to define fragment micro-syntaxes for various image formats; for some formats, which permit multiple images, that might simply be the image sequence number. That might mean that authors needed to use better tools, in order to access the full capabilities of their imaage formats. It would also gracefully degrade better, as the fallback behaviour for the proposal is to display on and off states simultaneously, whereas most renderers will only display the first image of a sequence. Note also, that the units that were clearly intended here were image pixels, not CSS pixels, so should be pure numbers, if this proposal were to be more directly adopted.
