Because of this, it's not suitable for repeating gradients, which may be linear at an angle, or radial. Is it still axis aligned if the entire element is rotated via 'transform'? Assuming the answer is "yes", and that you don't want to disable background-repeat for that, then what is wrong with having 'background-rotate' (or 'background-transform')? The background still has a pair of axi to align to, and the 'auto' value on it would take care of moving the rotation from the individual tile and into the whole background. Then all the gradients ARE aligned to an axis.
