I guess the important part is:

  [ <number> | <percentage> | <dimension> | <string> | <ident> |
  <url> | <function> | <hash> ]

I'd note that <dimension>, <ident>, <function>, and <hash> aren't
actually defined anywhere.  And, in particular, <function> being
defined according to the core grammar would mean this isn't a
simplification at all for implementations, but just constrains the
future syntax of property values (e.g., to not use parentheses as
some drafts of the background shorthand did).
