Thanks, Tab.  That fairly closely matches my original understanding.


Now let's talk about a use case:

1. image is a photo (GIF, JPG, or PNG)

2. image is "huge" (4096x3072)

3. I want to use it as a background

4. I want to tile it in both X and Y dimensions

5. I don't want it clipped

6. I want the aspect ratio preserved

7. Spacing between tiles is optional

8. target element A is 400px wide and 600px tall

9. target element B is 500px wide and 200px tall


What background properties should I specify for the rule that will be applied to both element A and element B?
