This document provides a module of the upcoming Cascading Style Sheets Level 3 (CSS3) specification describing backgrounds, such as page, table and other element background colors and images. No completely new functionality is proposed in this draft.

Chances since Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 (CSS2) include a "background-origin" property for block-level and replaced elements, where the position can now be relative to the border edge or content as well as the padding edge, a "background-clip" property for block-level and replaced elements that determines whether the background extends into the border area, and a "background-origin" property for all elements that determines how background-position is calculated. A new "background-size" property may be added in a future draft.
