A few minor comments on http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#linear-gradients :

First, the text:

"to bottom"

should probably be:

'to bottom'

(and should also be styled in blue like the other such occurrences).

Likewise in the dl section "by angle", "0deg" and "90deg" should also be styled and in single quotes.

I think the dl headings "by angle" and "by keyword" are a little confusing since they might lead someone to think that the word "by" appears in gradient syntax. Perhaps they could either be made more English (so that they're more obviously not a representation of syntax) or purely syntactic?

I don't understand why "starting-point" and "ending-point" are hyphenated throughout. We don't do that to other multi-word terms.

Finally, I'd drop the word "then" in:

The point's color is then the color of the gradient line at the

point where this line intersects it.

since there's nothing temporal about this definition.

All fixed, thanks! http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#linear-gradients
