Radial gradients can define a "degenerate shape" for their size/shape parameter - a circle or ellipse with 0 radius. Currently, I'm treating this as an error condition and having them render simply as a solid color equal to the last color-stop. While doing an editorial rewrite of the radial gradients section, though, I realized that there's no reason to do this. There is a well-defined "limit rendering" for these kinds of shapes, since the size/shape parameter doesn't scale the stops or anything, it just sets the shape of the gradient. Degenerate shapes are just vertical or horizontal lines, which is a perfectly reasonable thing - it essentially just makes a linear gradient in the direction of the minor axis, mirrored across the major axis. Anyone mind me changing this part of the spec so that we can regain image-continuity in this case? ~TJ
