Radial and conical gradients are "inverses" of each other in a sense, and you don't want to try overloading a single syntax construct to do both of them. (Radials position colors on a line, and color ellipses based on where they touch the line. Conicals position colors on an ellipse, and color lines based on where they touch the ellipse.) ~TJ
