Heh, I was hoping to finish the minutes before announcing that so people would have some context for why it exists. :) Also to make sure the WG wants it to exist, since it was only an informal agreement to define this. > A few rapid comments: > > - Is <image> intended to reference only images (ie, anything you could > put inside an <img>) or any kind of replaced content (ie anything you > could put inside an <embed>)? > More specifically, will "content" be extend with the <image> syntax?

The WG has not discussed or agreed to add gradients yet, so it's not in the draft. It would fit in this module, however. ~fantasai
