To keep the gradients discussion moving, here's a summary of where things stand with linear gradients: * Tab's proposal is at: <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/ #gradients-> * I raised objections related to the complexity of the proposal, and proposed a simpler two-point form with an optional angle: <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Nov/0050.html > * Tab said in person that he sees the value of a two-point form for linear gradients. * Dean and Roc question top left being the default. I'm fine with center top. * When the angle form is used, it's unclear if the angle of the rendered gradient is invariant under box aspect ratio changes <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Nov/0071.html >. * Angles in the gradient proposal (0deg is East, 90deg is North) differ from those used in SVG and transforms (angles increase in a clockwise direction). I'm sure radial gradients will raise a similar amount of discussion. Simon
