Normally, the first thing in your HTML document is the first (topmost) thing in the page, the next goes below that in the page, etc. I'm just talking about expectations here, not precise technical meaning. People expect the first thing in the list (whatever the list is) to be the first thing they see (whatever it means to be seen first). That's why 'background' was designed the way it is when we added multiple layers to the syntax. ~TJ
