Yes, and since it is generated by CSS and there are good use cases, we are proposing that it should have values that allow it to be affected by writing modes. Are you saying that writing modes is not stable enough to do so? > I think it's an absolute horrid idea to intermingle these properties just because it's fun to mix the new chemicals in a beaker to see what happens. "Fun" is not the reason. There are good use cases. Do you disagree with that statement? I can see not having intermingling within the same gradient, perhaps (as in, no 'to start top').
