Whatever the syntax, an author should not only be able to specify what
each background is, but where each background appears.
The commas (quoted below) remind me of the syntax of specifying
'font-family', but with 'font-family' you're not specifying multiple
fonts, but rather font preference -- so depending on whether that's
analogous enough, then a comma would be appropriate. I like the | ok,
and I don't like the "and".
It's arbitrary (to me) whether the first or last background would be
top-most or bottom-most.
On a (somewhat) related note, a width and height should be available
for each image so you could stretch it across a whole page or section
of page.
