I feel that the emphasis for CSS gradient "images" should be on the  
commonest cases, written simply, with little (if any) special magic  
for how they repeat in backgrounds. It seems to me that endlessly  
repeating radial gradients would be pretty uncommon, and should be  
left to SVG for that. If gradient is an image type in CSS, it should  
just behave like an image.
