>> 5. What does “specified by the author” mean? My best guess is that “specified by the author” means “cascaded value exists, and its origin was not the user agent”. Not specified as in specified value, which iiuc always exists due to defaulting (to transparent for background-color). > Right, this is the intent. Again, we have this weird cascading behavior because of compat. If you have suggestions on how to simplify without breaking compat, I'd be happy to spec such changes. I’ve never made substantive spec changes before, but I’ve proposed a way to explain this behaviour (and edits for the other points discussed in this issue) in #6386. I ended up using a cascaded-value-based model like my guess above, but I’ve since found a stronger reason (than the one above) *not* to use a specified-value model: inherit and initial don’t exist as specified values, which would make them impossible to explain. -- GitHub Notification of comment by delan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6386#issuecomment-925774874 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
