I was wondering the same thing. From the image-orientation spec: "It applies only to content images (e.g. replaced elements and generated content), not decorative images (such as background-image)." So this property apparently has a considerably larger scope than just correcting the orientation of images from files, which I guess explains why it is in CSS. > (My reply to Boris was going to be that drawImage() should follow > whatever flag we introduce for <img> to have this behavior, seems > weird for that flag to be in CSS though.) > > > -- > http://annevankesteren.nl/ >
