I hope the proposal is accepted. In CSS2, there are properties that
cannot be set to their default value directly. One example is
border-color. The default border color is the same as the text color,
but there is no way to set border-color directly to that. (You can set
it indirectly with the border shorthand notation, but that seems even
worse: a shorthand notation for something that doesn't have a long
notation).
