@Michael: I assume he means the spec is based off what XUL uses, not that Safari actually uses XUL.

Consider that the spec itself says “This model is based on the box model in the XUL user-interface language used for the user interface of many Mozilla-based applications (such as Firefox).”

The image spec looks very nice and useful, allowing image fallbacks and an easy way to specify image sprites (which is close to being implemented in Firefox I think)

And speaking of image related features in Firefox/Gecko, background-size support landed in the nightlies last night, so that’s early enough that it’ll make the alpha release (lets hope CSS gradients also makes the final release)

[...] In related news, the W3C has released two new CSS 3 working drafts: the flexible box layout module and the CSS Image Values module. You can find a short description for both on CSS3.info. [...]

@Alexis: Firefox is based on Mozilla’s XUL framework. Safari and Chrome are built on Apple’s and KDE’s WebKit framework, which is fairly different.

It’s worth noting that Firefox, Safari and Chrome all largely implement the flexbox module already using -moz- and -webkit- prefixes. This is because it’s based on Mozilla’s XUL framework.

All these properties sounds very attractive to me. Unfortunately I assume since it is said that they are new it’ll be quite a while until they’ll be implemented.

The implecations for image() are interesting.

I could have a declaration like this: background: image(gradient(linear, purple, colorstop(0.5), orange), gradient.svg, gradient.png or purple).
