I'm pinging the ML about this again, because I would like to add a couple of facts. Cairo has been abusing Render radial gradients by requesting their rasterization even when the "outer" circle did not contain the "inner" circle. The specification explicitly disallows this, but the server doesn't return an error and draws the gradient, instead. The change suggested by Soeren seems to be very appropriate to make specification and implementation more consistent. Additionally the gradient definition did not change for the values allowed by the specification, so extending the range of valid values should be pretty safe.
