Everything is obvious when you know. The challenge is making it
obvious when you don't. Which is why using familiar patters is good.
Which is why picture had a strong advantage in that regard.

I would count on the majority getting this wrong time and again
because the pattern is not a familiar one. And, as we all know, people
don't read docs - isn't that the argument so often brought up against
any "advanced" stuff in CSS and HTML? - Users Are Stupid? ;)
