I'm not getting how that relates to my point, which I'll reiterate more explicitly: With existing (CSS3) background properties, AFAIK there is no way to simulate what repeating-radial-gradient offers. As such the note should be amended to explicitly refer to linear gradients, or clarify how repeating-radial-gradients can be simulated with background-repeat more explicitly. -Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan Gresley [mailto:alan@css-class.com] > Sent: Friday, May 13, 2011 11:42 PM > To: Brian Manthos > Cc: Brad Kemper; www-style list; Simon Fraser; Tab Atkins Jr. > Subject: Radial Gradients and background-repeat (Was Re: Automatic spec > annotations) > > On 11/05/2011 5:02 AM, Brian Manthos wrote: > > Speaking of background-repeat vs. repeating- … > > > > > > # Repeating gradients could potentially be done by hooking into > > ‘background-repeat’, > > > > This line in the spec needs updating so that it explicitly refers to > > *linear* gradients.
