Strangely enough, that's the exact idea I had when I first read
through multiple backgrounds. The thing is though, it's a whole new
concept for CSS, and changes the data structure of an existing
property.
At the moment background-image is a sting, but using an indexed syntax
changes it to an array. That's hugely relevant to DOM Scripting (and I
suspect also to the internals of existing web browsers). It's not
backwards compatible with the 'old' background property, so it's
really not an option.
