RE: [css3-images] linear-gradient keywords and angles are opposite

Because if my gradient has a fixed length (which is reasonably common for creating
edge effects via background-image), the "towards the top" interpretation would
place it at the bottom of the box.

I think *that* is counter-intuitive.
