Interpolating container-sensitive properties is still possible, it just takes more work. I outlined how to do it in my previous email, but here it is again:
(1) store non-resolved start and end values as part of the interpolated result (e.g. [cover 30%, contain 70%] is the result of a 30% interpolation between a cover gradient and a contain gradient)
(2) resolve start and end values against current size of container
(3) interpolate resolved values
