Going through our testcases, the proposed wording above doesn’t say what
type to use for a missing offset in the 4-value form. So a specified value
like:

bottom right 10px 

Could serialize to either of these:

right 10px bottom 0%
right 10px bottom 0px

I’m inclined to go with 0%, just because a percent seems more generic than
picking a particular distance unit.
