== [css-values-3] Incorrect explanation in 8.1.3, example 22...? ==
I may be misunderstanding this so I apologize in advance. Here is the 
section:

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values/#calc-computed-value

In there you have the "Example 22" box, which says, below the code:

> Due to this, `background-position` preserves the percentage in a 
`calc()` rather than resolving it directly into a length, so that an 
expression like `background-position: left calc(50% + 20px)` properly 
centers the background and then shifts it `20px` to the right, rather 
than placing its left edge 20px off of center.

However, a `background-position` set to "left calc(50% + 20px)" would 
center the image, then shift it 20px "down", not "to the right". The 
second value is the vertical offset, correct? Thus, it should read:

> ...properly centers the background and then shifts it `20px` to 
**down**, rather than placing its **top** edge 20px off of center.

If there's something I'm totally misunderstanding here, forgive me for
 wasting anyone's time. Thanks.
