OK, I made a reply to the author here with exactly the same method as Rahul,
but will stick my correction as a lame CSS 2.1 "hack" here. It requires
extra markup, but works until better alternatives are available (3).
<div id="foo"><div id="bar"></div></div>
Apply repeat-y to #foo and position a corner/top (or bottom/corner)
background-image for #bar (which has no explicit content and should
have zeroed-out padding and margins).
It's worked for me a couple of times.
