CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders Working Draft Published

We've published a new official Working Draft of the CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3. Some major changes from the last draft include:

• Updated shorthand syntax for border-radius
• New background-position syntax for positioning offsets from corners other than the top left
• Spread values for box-shadow
• Inner shadows
• Fallback background colors
• A no-clip value for background-clip
• cover and contain values for background-size that proportionally stretch the background image to either cover or be contained by the entire background area
• New syntax for the background shorthand
• Numerous clarifications and improvements in the definitions of these properties

Check it out and send us some feedback. This draft is in the stabilizing phase: the next publication should be the last one before Candidate Rec, and we'd rather get your comments this round. The plan is to do some more polish work, respond to comments and suggestions, and then publish a Last Call with this feature set near the end of the year.
