Re: Comments on gradients proposal

The processing of gradient stops could stand some additional clarification.
I think the model is:
1) any stop with a specified position that is less than the specified
position of any stop before it has its position changed to the greatest
specified position of any stop before it.
2) *then* you interpolate the stop positions of any stops with unspecified
positions
3) for radial gradients, drawn circles/ellipses with negative radii are
ignored (negative stop values are not changed). (There may be massaging of
stops before passing to native APIs, but this is purely an implementation
detail.) This is more important if you add support for repeating gradients,
for example it should be clear that repeating-radial-gradient(white -50px,
black -25px, white 0) doesn't just set all the stops to position 0 and
render white.

I think you can deduce all that from the spec, except possibly the ordering
of steps 1) and 2), but it might be clearer if it was in one place.
