RE: [css3-images] Order of color-stop fixup

Correct, you have specified two constraints that are conflicting.  The current spec chooses to respect the even distribution over the distribution length, since satisfying both is not possible.

Example 1:
linear-gradient(red -100%, white, green, black, blue)

Example 2:
linear-gradient(black, red -100%, white, green, black, blue)

Example 1 ED 5.4 current:
linear-gradient(red -100%, white -50%, green 0%, black 50%, blue 100%)

Example 2 ED 5.4 current:
linear-gradient(black 0%, red 0%, white 25%, green 50%, black 75%, blue 100%)

Why has adding a black stop before my explicitly specified red stop caused all of my evenly spaced stops to shuffle up?  I asked for them to be spaced between -100% and 100%.
