Well, the point of the separate color is for it to behave as a fallback if the image fails to load. text-fill-color implies to me that the color will always be applied. > I believe at one point David Baron was proposing generic fill rules that > could be referenced (something that could combine gradient fills, > pattern fills and color fills together) where colors are used.

You have to define how they apply to multi-box elements (such as an inline broken across lines). See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-break for how this affects backgrounds. ~fantasai
