Yeah, confirmed that Gecko nightlies support the new
background-position syntax.  I don't like it, but it has a bunch of
traction and might not be worth removing from background-position
itself.

I still don't think we should try to propagate the syntax to other
properties like transform-origin.  It should be restricted to
background-position only.  Anything else that wants <position>s should
use the older, simpler syntax only.  If it's too late to keep
background-position simple, it's not too late for other things.
