I'd much rather drop bg-position (in case you couldn't tell by now)  
and just have one word to say what direction to fill the box  
(sometimes implied by the name of a side or corner, sometimes the  
other way around), and no more than one "how far along that direction"  
per color. That would take care of 99.999% of the author's needs and  
be far, far simpler. I really can't see the compelling need to be able  
to specify a starting position different from first color's position,  
or an ending position different from the ending color's position. THAT  
makes it much harder to read and more confusing.
