The logic here is that repeating behaviour depends on the image type. I'm inclined to keep it that way.

Whether an image repeats or not is independent of the image type. The only thing that varies by image type is how it repeats. > What if > you want a gradient that only runs through its stops once (which would > require no-repeat), but is then tiled across the background (which > would require repeat)? You basically never want that. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
