It could be the right thing to do when the sides are uniform (i.e., stretch vs. repeat vs. round makes no difference), since I suspect repeat may be the fastest in that case (though I'm not sure). That said, if that's the only use, it would probably be better to have a keyword for "fastest" that says that implementations should fill the space using the image the fastest way they can (probably either repeat or stretch a one-pixel-long segment of the side). That said, CSS hasn't really gotten involved in this type of optimization in the past. -David -- L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/
