Traditionally, watermarks were put into the paper, and could be lightly seen if you looked closely. For digital media, the equivalent would be a very light background. Shane's request is essentially to be able to have something like 'background-text' instead of just 'background-image'. If we're talking *that* style of effect, though, then the set of things you'd want to control are essentially unbounded. You want shadows, outlines, rotation, linebreak control, etc. I don't think you can isolate a simple set of features that will address a large enough fraction of the use-cases. In other words, this *should* be done as an image, preferably as an SVG, and we won't need to add anything to CSS. ~TJ
