@davidbaron I absolutely agree. It was ok at the time it was implemented/specified though.

@dirkschulze Why was it ever ok? I don't think it was.

@davidbaron People were happy with it at this time… then realized that it is not sufficient for a lot of use cases.

@dirkschulze Only because the WG added a feature without proper justification, because our process defaults to accepting WG member features.

@davidbaron What do you suggest? Deprecating it in CSS BG&B? CSS3 BG&B is no recommendation yet. So it would not be to late.
