507052 - Integrate -moz-image-rect() into other CSS properties than "background"

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement)

Description

[Ryo Kawaguchi]

bug 113577 introduced a new CSS function -moz-image-rect() specifically for "background" and "background-image" properties.

In this bug, we will integrate -moz-image-rect() into other CSS properties.

The candidates are (in the order of importance):
 * list-style-image
 * -moz-border-image (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-border-image)
 * cursor (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/cursor)
 * content (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/content)

Given that vendor-prefixed features are generally discouraged nowadays, I assume this request is not going to be pursued, right?

For what it's worth, there's a discussion to standardize image manipulations, which would also cover the clipping done via -moz-image-rect().

Yeah, anything new & web-exposed here would need to be standardized these days.
