Sounds good.

Examples numbering still skips numbers in Firefox (but not Chrome).
'class=example' occurs both on <div>s and the <img>s inside which
appears to mess up the auto-counting.


Minor editing quibbles:

Abstract:
Add period after: * compositing groups.

3.4:
<blend-mode> = .... should be broken into two lines so it doesn't run
off-screen.

Third example:
... element is causing ... ->
... element causes ...

3.4.2:
In CSS, a background ... ->
A CSS background image or the content of an <img> must...
[<img> is HTML, not CSS]

Question: what about <iframe>, <object>, <embed>?

3.4.3:
Subject/verb agreement:

... blend with the element's background layer that is below it ...   OR
... blend with the element's background layers that are below it ...

the element instead -> the element, instead

5. Note:
Shape either exists at a particular point or it does not. ->
A particular point is either inside the shape or it is not.

The note should be divided into two paragraphs; one for shape, one for
opacity.

10: Blending, example caption:

Note ... lowers. ->
Note how the rectangle is redder where the opacity of the background is
smaller. 

General:

I find the use of <br> in the middle of a <p> makes the spec more
difficult to read; for example, in 3.4.2 between the first and second
sentence. They should be removed or replaced by <p> depending on how
closely the material before and after is related.
