FWIW, your example actually doesn't match what you were expecting, because `background-color` is not inherited by default, and thus `backgroundColor` in your example is actually `transparent`. (Even if it is inherited by default, your `background` would override that value as well.) This can be fixed by adding `background-color: inherited` explicitly, though. I doubt its usefulness. Is there any other usecase? In this example, things would not work if the background underneath is an image, or even a gradient. And this simple usecase can easily be achieved via a common variable. This very limited usecase doesn't look very convincing to me. Also given that you made this mistake when you wrote the example (I'm not blaming you, but), I suspect this setting isn't as intuitive as it looks like, which would also be a problem. -- GitHub Notification of comment by upsuper Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/364#issuecomment-236544855 using your GitHub account
