Or, alternatively, it seems like the use case here would be addressed by doing what the spec said before. Is it really that much harder to do? Is it just that we'd need to add another value to pass through various layers of code, and then support that value? Or is supporting that value actually hard? (Also, I think 'crisp-edges' in the spec is intended to be algorithms better than nearest neighbor. I'm hesitant to unprefix '-moz-crisp-edges' immediately, although we might consider just removing it.) -David -- 𝄞 L.
