I don't see these as gradients. We could even refer to these as
computed patterns. I think that because these are not "drop in"
substitutes for gradients today. IMHO the major difference lies in
that these patterns need two coordinates rather than one to get a
color value.
However, of course the idea of a cross-application, resuable,
scalable, rendered 2d patterns sounds nice for me. Maybe these could
be implemented alongside gradients. Such patterns could, for example,
be written as postscript functions - or some other language for
expressions that would be easily embedable almost anywhere (Lua comes
to mind).
