RE: Expected behavior of background-clip property on the html element?

Thanks everyone for the input and feedback.

Indeed it was not immediately clear to me that the background-clip property does not have effect on the root element until I see the discussions and pointers here. A clarification will certainly be very helpful. Thanks.

Regards, Cathy.

Well, the only quoted spec references and quoted text in the thread was
from CSS2.1, so I assumed you were talking about the quoted text from
CSS2.1.

I think I see the note you're talking about in CSS3. Updated.
