Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Alias "grey()" to "gray()"? (#3298)

> The aliasing of international-English grey and US-English gray is _least_ problematic as a property value (but would probably still not be adopted, were those keywords to be proposed today). As a functional notation, it would be more problematic; it would require precedence and de-duplicating rules in case both were specified. Even more so for aliasing the `color` property to `colour` (and the same for all the `*-color*` properties.

I don't see how duplicate properties would be problematic or require any rules at all. Consider the following 'problematic' example:

```CSS
color: red;
colour: green;
```

This is not any more problematic than this:

```CSS
color: red;
color: green;
```

In fact, they're semantically identical (at least in my ideal world where CSS supports this).
