Well, IE 6 (I don't have 7 in front of me at the moment) does get
color wrong in your example. However, IE gets all of the following
examples correct:
p {border: 2px solid green; border: nonsense;}
p {background: green; background: potatoes;}
p {width: 40em; width: infinity;}
p {font-size: 2em; font-size: tiny;}
On the other hand again, the following example also fails:
p {background-color: yellow; background-color: potatoes; }
as do various positioning rules. In any case, the problems in IE do
not appear to be the result of misunderstanding the spec, but rather
of simply misimplementing it. I don't see that the spec example
needs substantive changes just because one implementor was careless,
but perhaps the Working Group disagrees.
