Indeed, because you can simulate it with a color-stop.  ^_^  Point
taken, then - with my syntax, behavior inside the inner circle is
irrelevant, because there is no inner-circle.

K.

Overall, I believe both of my syntax proposals (for linear and radial)
would support this sort of repeating fine, though I think it's
slightly weird to key it off of background-repeat.  I can see the
appeal, though, of saying that repeat behavior is image-type-specific.
