I haven't fiddled with it, so I'd have to get back to you on the D2D answer.
That said, for CSS my instinct is....
We should clamp offset values to inside the ellipse (or do some other normalization). Once the offset goes outside the ellipse it's becoming more of a conical gradient and thus doesn't really belong under the radial-gradient umbrella.
But this is just off the cuff, not deeply thought out.
