From Rossen: Mixing shape and contour might get a bit too much. We
Suggestion: <img id=shape-me url=foo> <style #shape-me { shape-outside: contour; //equal to 'shape-outside: url(foo)' shape-outside: attr(src as url); }</style>
Following discussion with Alan Stearns, we don't think a 'contour' keyword will be easily understandable here. As smfr pointed out above, we have several ways of solving the issue 1. using a second reference to the url through url() 2. getting the url from the @src attribute through attr(src url) 3. getting the image itself using an image() notation Hence closing as WONTFIX.
