The rect() function can't be changed - it's far too old, and used in too many places. The 'clip' property itself, and the rect() value it uses, are both considered legacy mistakes. Instead, the newer 'clip-path' property is to be used, which takes a number of shape functions, including rectangle() (defined to take x/y/w/h, like SVG) and inset-rect() (defined to take t/r/b/l, like margins/padding/etc.). ~TJ
