In general I'd rather not, since it'd be on a case-by-case basis (on some properties the syntax might not allow the reordering or what not) I mainly had shorthand serialization in mind, yes. Though I don't see why it couldn't apply to longhands, as well. The idea is to properly extend the algorithm to make it precise enough on when the rule [outlined earlier](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8155#issuecomment-3748877165) is applied. Or in other words, the algorithm should provide a basic definition for how to serialize those cases. Other specifications may still provide different serialization rules if needed. > ... and serialization is already under-specified enough :) Well, that's the reason for issues like this one and #13343.😉 The main goal here is to improve the specification of the serialization and reduce ambiguities.
