That's a pretty good summation of our differences. And in dropping the bg-positions, I am also dropping the "to" with the end point after it (since there is already a place to indicate beginning and ending points, in the color-stop list). My changes are to keep it simple. Short and sweet, and covering 99.99% of the use people would find for CSS gradations. Even #3, above, is more for a minority of uses than for the more common use, and could be accomplished with calc() if you really would hate to separate the color-stops into two sub-lists that way. Personally I think it is more clear with a second slash when you need it, and certainly more clear than using a minus or some other marker before each measurement to indicate measuring from the end instead of the beginning.
