Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-backgrounds-4] Decide on name for shorthand covering everything `background-*` except `background-color` (#9083)

> Would it be back compat thought? Existing content would break if there were existing background-* properties followed by background-image with only a source that was interpreted as a shorthand. Is that what you mean by "if we can get it implemented"?

There's some CSSOM compat concern around shorthanding properties in general: #8398. I really think we should try and solve it though, so we don't have to force ourselves to a subpar developer experience (not just in this situation, but in others too).

I doubt there are sites using invalid syntax atm that would become valid with my suggestion though.
