Maybe I'm sleepy but I don't see what you're getting at. (unless you're 
talking about bitmap related artifacts)

Even if it doesn't contain any part of the bkg (which is an extreme downer for 
the artists - even the default theme has a part of the bkg in the borders - 
it has to because of the round corners), the borders still can't hold 
gradients.

What about having something like "left-stretch" as the svg object name if the 
artist wants that to be stretched? This way a theme could hold both pattern 
and stretch elements and could mix them - imagine laica format film - it 
could have the top-bottom gradient which would be stretched, and holes on the 
borders which would be pattern...
