> Oh I was not speaking about cssText serialization, but more that I
like el.style.backgroundSize returning "initial" instead of "auto"
because "auto" was never specified by the author; the property has its
"initial| value instead, which happens to be auto.
As I mentioned before, making it returning `initial` instead of
initial value like `auto` makes serialization code unnecessarily more
complicated and error-prone, and it doesn't even work in many cases.
For `background-size` particularly, what should `background: url(a)
100%, url(b);` produce? `background-size: 100%, initial`?
`background-size:`?
What would you expect from the following code to output?
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div id="ref" style="background: url(#a), url(#b)"></div>
<div id="test"></div>
<script>
var ref = document.getElementById('ref');
var test = document.getElementById('test');
alert(ref.style.backgroundSize);
test.style.backgroundSize = ref.style.backgroundSize;
alert(test.style.backgroundSize);
</script>
```
