What about element(). Does it have same-origin restrictions?

Evil document has this CSS and HTML.


div {
   background: element(http://goodbank.com/foo.html#header);
}

button, input {
   color: transparent;
   background: transparent;
   border-color: transparent;
   position: /* where appropriate */
}

<div>
   <input />
   <input />
   <button />
   ......
<div>
