And since the initial value for 'background-repeat' is 'repeat', then there is really no other default to consider, that I can think of. I just think that, at the very least, 'background-repeat: repeat' should repeat the image as it would with any other image, even if there is no special behavior for angled gradients (although I still think a little special behavior would be even better).
