That should have been.


Then authors could just write:


background-position: 0 0 auto auto; /* left top right bottom */
background-origin: content;


And to clipped the top and left of the image at the content edge all you 
  do is give the background-position-left and background-position-top 
negative values:


background-position: -100px -100px auto auto;
background-origin: content;


This would position the left and top edge of a background image outside 
the content box, thus clipping the top and left portion of the image by 
100px.
