Mmm. It sounds like a good idea. Let me post it on the discussion group to see 
what
others think.

This sounds like an excellent idea. I've made workarounds for this before by
stretching bg images on server side. A solution within IE7 would be wonderful.
Perhaps, though, it's best to also implement a similar file name ending 
criteria as
Jack proposes.

My approval,

Changing this to "enhancement". I will try to add this functionality in a 
future release.

One thought:
If background-attachment:repeat-x is specified, could the bg be stretched
horizontally only, retaining the height?

@svarven,
No unfortunately you can't do that, AlphaImageLoader is fairly limited, it's 
stretch
across the entire element or don't stretch at all I'm afraid.

Sorry, I just realised I made a mistake. I meant "scale", not "stretch".

Unawared, I opened a new thread regarding the same suggestion.

How difficult is it to implement this idea?

OK. This is how it will work in the next release. If you want the image to crop 
(how it 
currently works) then use no-repeat:

e.g. background-image: url(my-trans.png) no-repeat;

If you want the image to stretch (to imitate tiling) then omit the no-repeat 
flag.

This will apply in version 2.1.
