Specification
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-backgrounds-4/#valdef-background-clip-border-area


Summary
Implements the border-area value for the CSS background-clip property, as 
defined in CSS Backgrounds Level 4. background-clip: border-area clips an 
element's background to the area painted by its border strokes, taking 
border-width and border-style into account while ignoring transparency from 
border-color. This enables gradient borders without border-image. WebKit 
already ships this feature; this implementation brings Chromium to parity.


Blink component
Blink>CSS


Web Feature ID
background-clip-border-area


Motivation
There is currently no ergonomic way to clip a background to the visible border 
geometry in CSS. Authors who want gradient or image borders must use 
border-image, which is complex, overrides other border styling, and does not 
compose well with other properties. The border-area clip value provides a 
clean, declarative solution to this problem. WebKit already ships this feature, 
and it is part of the actively developed CSS Backgrounds Level 4 specification.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
