Then why did we change the gradient syntax in incompatible ways? How is that different? And what's the point of WD and prefixes if backwards compatibility is that big an issue even in that case? If nothing can change in transforms any more, why doesn't it move to CR? There is a recent thread on this list by Tab & fantasai about review of functional notation in CSS, pretty much everything suggested there would also break backwards compatiblity in incompatible ways just as much. -- Lea Verou (http://lea.verou.me | @LeaVerou)
