If 'repeat' is explained somewhere else, a reference is needed. 'repeat' means to simply tile the image as for background-image. Since it's not yet specified where to anchor the image in this case, you'll have to ask Dave Hyatt what he did. > 2) The sample source image in Example 1 does not break cleanly into 3x3. > This is entirely unexpected.

I can make a replacement if you like. If you're referring to http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-border-image Viewing in the GIMP, I'm not seeing the problem you describe. The rest of these are all very good points, unfortunately I don't have answers for you. My suggestion is that you find out what Safari does, and if it makes sense, implement that, and if it doesn't, ask Dave Hyatt about it. We would have to do the same thing for the spec anyway, since Safari implemented 'border-image' without first bringing up these problems in the spec for discussion and without using a vendor extension. :( Let us know what you find out, so we can ask Bert to put it in the spec when he gets back. ~fantasai
