If there's any ambiguity about whether unprefixed "background-clip:text"
should be supported, let's please get that resolved soon, then.

(If the CSSWG doesn't intend for "background-clip:text" to be valid,
please provide clarification on how "-webkit-background-clip:text" would
be expected to have any effect at all... and how "background-clip" /
"-webkit-background-clip" should interact, since clearly they wouldn't
be true aliases in that case.)

(IMO, any sort of a hackaround to make this a "prefixed-alias-only" sort
of feature would be too complex to be worth it, both from a spec
perspective & from an implementation perspective.)
