Gradients would be great.
Rounded corners would be great also.
I think Mr. Bowman hit the nail on the head with that one. the ability to specifiy radius on all 4 corners would be best.
Multiple backgrounds would definately help keep our code semantic. I hate adding div’s just to make a background elastic. a background for all four corners would be excellent. BUT…. I am also wondering if we would need to add a background for the center of all 4 sides. center-top, center-bottom, center-right, center-left.
The only reason I bring this up is because of the existing way we have to make elastic boxes.

Although, I think it could be done with a little ingenuity with just 4 corners for backgrounds. I also think making elastic boxes would be the main reason for multiple backgrounds, therefore it would be most important that the multiple backgrounds worked for elastic boxes.
Thanks
