I think authors are more likely to want to achieve and preserve a  
"rounded rectangle" shape with circle-arc corners, and have that  
maintained independent of resizing, than to want to achieve an  
elliptical shape and have that maintained independent of resizing. If  
the latter use case is actually important, then it may deserve some  
special syntax, such as percentage units for border-radius.
