Such a thing would be good enough, since it is about "not specifying the value". (It doesn't really matter if you replace the value with a keyword or have two new separate properties.) How about making 'inherit' a possible value as in: background-position:240px inherit; (Where 'inherit inherit' would be the same as 'inherit'.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
