[csswg-drafts] [css-shapes] Why does this spec need to special-case serialization of <position>?

emilio has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-shapes] Why does this spec need to special-case serialization of <position>? ==
See https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/9339#issuecomment-362977519.

The spec says:

> The <position> values (including the defaults) in ellipse() and circle() serialize to their 2- and 4-value forms only, preferring the 2-value form when it can be expressed without calc(), preferring left and top origins, and preferring 0% over a zero length.

Firefox right now special-cases that to follow the spec, but I think it'd be more sane and consistent to just use the regular serialization. Is there any reason that sentence was added to the spec?
