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. -Adam Kuehn
